Kaurna culture The Dreaming story of the Land...
Living Kaurna Cultural Centre
Purrunna Kaurna Munaintya Wodli
"Yaintya trukkungga ngadlu, Kaurna meyunna, ngadluko perko yertaunangko warrabandi. Ngadlu kumangka towillilla manko mankorendi Munaintya purruttiappitti purtititya.
In this centre we, Kaurna people, tell our stories from the land. We assemble together in the spirit in order to celebrate renewal of the Dreaming."
Over eons of time, the Kaurna people of the Adelaide Plains have gathered at Warriparinga. The Living Kaurna Cultural Centre was built here to ensure that Kaurna culture, and the Dreaming Story of the Land, is passed on from generation to generation.
Visitors from the wider community and tourists are also very welcome to come and learn about Kaurna culture and share in the special environment of peace that exists at Warriparinga. All visitors are invited here in a spirit of humanity, and are asked to respect Kaurna cultural protocols when they visit the Centre
