Festival Statesmen

We acknowledge that we meet, work and create on the traditional country of the Kaurna people of the Adelaide Plains.

Ngadlurlu Kaurna Miyurna yaitya yarta-mathanya Wama Tarntanyaku tampinthi. Iyangka yartangka ngadlu inparrinthi, warpulayinthi, pintyanthi.

We recognise and respect their cultural heritage, beliefs and relationship with the land. We acknowledge that they are of continuing importance to the Kaurna people living today.

Yalarra, parnaku yailtya, parnaku tapa purruna puru purruna.

We recognise that sovereignty was never ceded. Always was, always will be.

Parnarlu yaku parnaku yarta yungki. Munaintyanangku, tunturri.
