Kaurna In The Public Arena post 1980!

Dr Rob Amery and Emilie O'Brien alongside BEANSTALK creative & production, have been working on a site specifically for the use of Kaurna language in the public arena.

Its still under construction, but we thought we would tell you as we are really excited about it!

And we need your pictures! If any of you have some photos of Kaurna places or even people! We would love to consider them for the site!

Some examples of what we would like are- street signs in Kaurna, Art works around the town and organisations or groups with Kaurna names.

email them to emilie.obrien@adelaide.edu.au

Kaurna Postcards

Turra Womma Tarndanyako – Images of the Adelaide Plains

In August 2007 a set of six postcards were printed. These were produced through the DCITA-funded Indigenous Language Productions – Postcard Initiative project.

Darren Hayward from Centacare worked with Kaurna people and a linguist in workshops hosted by Kaurna Warra Pintyandi to finalise the designs.

The postcards are based around Tarnda ‘male red kangaroo’, Warto ‘wombat’ Pilta ‘brush-tailed possum’, Ilya ‘red-bellied black snake’, Kari ‘emu’ and Kudlyo ‘black swan’.

All photos were taken on the Adelaide Plains.

The postcards were produced to promote the use and visibility of the Kaurna language and to raise awareness of Kaurna language, land and people.

The postcards will be available from various outlets including Tandanya, the South Australian Museum, theLiving Kaurna Cultural Centre at Warriparinga and Kaurna Plains School. For only 25 cents each!

Wholesale orders may be placed with Kaurna Warra Pintyandi at the University of Adelaide.
