Around the Torrens there are a number of symbols of the Kaurna people's connection with the river.
This series of video loops presents four of these in a way that a visitor may discover them. The centre video loop presents a statement recognising that this land is the Kaurna People's traditional country.
Kaurna meyunna, Kaurna yarta tampendi
This video loop is of the reconciliation sculpture (commissioned by the Graham F Smith Peace Trust) at the forecourt of the Adelaide Festival Centre. The loop follows the way a visitor may view the interconnecting circles that loop around a central rock sculpture.
Adelaide Festival Centre Mural
This video loop pans across the large mural located on the northern outside wall of the Adelaide Festival Centre. The untitled mural is by Trevor Nickolls.
Acknowledgement
This video loop presents the following acknowledgement:
"We are on the traditional country of the Kaurna people of the Adelaide plains. We recognise and respect their cultural heritage, beliefs and relationships with the land".
This acknowledgement is based on the words adopted by Adelaide City Council.
Doris Graham Commemorative Plaque
This video loop shows the plaque, which is located on the grass between the Adelaide Festival Centre and the river. It is viewed from the perspective of a visitor relaxing on the grass. Water birds can be observed wandering in front of the plaque.
The plaque is located adjacent to a River Redgum planted by Mrs Graham, a significant Kaurna elder.
Yerrakartarta
This video loop pans across sections of the Yerrakartarta sculpture in front of the Intercontinental Hotel, near North Terrace. Yerrakartarta is a Kaurna word that means "at random".
For more information on the Kaurna people and these cultural attractions see the City of Marion's Living Kaurna Cultural Centre. and Adelaide City Council's Aboriginal cultural attractions.
