Acknowledgement of Country in Kaurna Language

Ngadlu tampinthi yalaka ngadlu Kaurna yartangka inparrinthi. Ngadludlu tampinthi, parnaku tuwila yartangka.

Kaurna Miyurna yaitya yarta-mathanya Wama Tarntanyaku, parnaku yailtya, parnaku tapa puru purruna.

Kaurna Miyurna ithu yailtya purruna, yarta kuma puru martinthi, puru warri-apinthi, puru tangka martulayinthi.

Kuma kumartarna Yaitya Miyurna ngadludlu tampinthi iyangka yalaka.
Parnaku yarta kumartarna yarta Kanthi Partu-arra kuma Warrunangku.

Acknowledgement of Country

The Aldinga Arts Eco Village acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community.

We pay our respects to Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.

We salute the indigenous philosophy – people belong to the land, in contrast to the European philosophy that land belongs to people – recognising that the traditional philosophy has valuable lessons to teach us as we seek a more sustainable way to live as a community.

We acknowledge that this land is the traditional land cared for by the Kaurna people and we respect their spiritual relationship with their country.

We also acknowledge the Kaurna people as the custodians of the Adelaide region and that their cultural and heritage beliefs are still as important to the living Kaurna people today.
