Welcome to Country

To celebrate NAIDOC Week, we’re proud to launch a unique Welcome to Kaurna Country film in collaboration with the City of Port Adelaide Enfield and The City of Charles Sturt.
Kaurna Country is more than a place and is inherent to Aboriginal identity.
We want people from across our Cities to know the land on which they live, work and connect with each other is Kaurna Country.
Healing country means more than land, or place. For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, Country is family, kin, law, ceremony, traditions, and language, and it has been this way since the dawn of time. Healing Country means embracing First Nation’s cultural knowledge and understanding of Country as part of Australia's national heritage, and that these cultures and values are respected equally to the cultures and values of all Australians.
This video shares the connection of Kaurna people to land, to water, to nature. To Country.
Together, let us ‘Heal Country’.

It is good to talk business. Jackey Jackey was a great man and explorer.

Sgi (thank you in Giduwa Cherokee) for your welcoming us to country. I hope you get to visit Eastern Cherokee Country in what's now North Carolina and eastern Tennessee in the USA. Our homeland and creation takes place int he Great Smoky Mountains.

What song is it playing in the background from 1.20min? I would love to know. It sounds beautiful! just as the whole video.

[@wwf5409]

Me too.....if you find out the name of song....please share

[@monicam4230]

I just really love this. All these amazing Elders. Where would South Australia be without their wisdom and care?

[@jongoessling1245]

I love this video. Will use it to teach students at Tatachilla College. It would be great to see and hear more teachings from you

You think it is acceptable to teach multitheism at a Christian school? Maybe reconsider your employment.

Make sure you teach them that it was made up in 1976 by Ernie Dingo and Richard Wally, they had nothing to go on, they had no historical evidence, they literally made it up. Then the students can decide for themselves whether this is actually Aboriginal culture and history. This has less history and culture than Aboriginals using a flushing toilet, driving cars and eating McDonald's. I personally see this as a huge insult to 65,000+ years of Aboriginal history and culture.

Comparative religion is a very important subject. This allows a person to decide for themselves whether or not their religion is right for them. This is important because religion is a choice, it should be er be forced upon a person.

Can anyone please tell me who the artist and songwriter are for the song that plays in the background of this video?

[@biddyhealey6764]

Found it. Nancy Bates. Can't find the name of the song.

[@coolshade2011]

Such a good video, thank you. It really resonated with me.

[@mickhope4401]

Aboriginal people and the whole community must stand together to look after this great land, and show respect for all that walk on this land, Aboriginal land

[@James-kv6kb]

If you've been to the Aboriginal communities you'll know that they don't love the land anymore
