Yaitya Ngutupira

Yaitya Ngutupira comes from the Kaurna language, meaning about Aboriginal knowledge.

Yaitya Ngutupira [audio pronunciation] is a space and collection of physical and digital items from across the Library, brought together on the themes of linguistics, art, native title, health, social justice, politics, and biographical and cultural knowledge. The collection aims to highlight and present books written by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander authors and scholars.

You can find Yaitya Ngutupira spaces on Level 1 at the Barr Smith Library, and at our Waite and Roseworthy campus libraries. 

Items in the Yaitya Ngutupira collection can now be searched directly online.
