After adopting the Uluru Statement from the Heart and displaying it in our Kaurna-named Payinthi building, Council is now committed to investigate options and the process for progressing a treaty (makarrata, agreement, however described) with Kaurna people.
Initial discussions have been held with senior Kaurna Elders and representatives from Kaurna Yerta Aboriginal Corporation (KYAC); during this meeting the KYAC chairperson, Jeffrey Newchurch, offered the use of the Kaurna language phrase Payinthi Kumangka to describe the shared process that we may embark upon together.
