PRIVATE SORRY DAY FOR KAURNA NATION COMMUNITY
Friday 2 August, 8am – 4pm

The City of Holdfast Bay acknowledges Kaurna people as the traditional owners and custodians of this land. We respect their spiritual relationship with country that has developed over thousands of years, and the cultural heritage and beliefs that remain important to Kaurna People today.

The Kaurna People are the original people of Adelaide and the Adelaide Plains, whose country stretches from Crystal Brook in the north to Cape Jervis in the south. The coastal plains between Glenelg and Kingston Park provided a hospitable summer camp environment with rolling sand dunes, freshwater lagoons and natural springs for the Kaurna people, where food and water was plentiful.

The area of Tulukutangga, Kingston Park is of great cultural importance and spiritual significance to the Kaurna people and to the wider Aboriginal population as it is one of the Tjilbruke sites. For thousands of years the permanent freshwater spring has been bubbling away in the reserve and once formed a freshwater coastal lagoon. The sacred spring site is part of the extensive Tjilbruke Dreaming Story and a place of reflection and mourning. Tjilbruke is an important Dreaming ancestor to Kaurna people and the Tjilbruke spring site along with the Dreaming Story remains sacred to the Kaurna people today.

The Repatriation Ceremony and reburial of the Kaurna Old People back to Tulukutangga will hold great cultural significance for the traditional owners as a majority of the remains are of people from the local area.
For more information about Kaurna Heritage and Culture please visit the website.
