Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Resources

We acknowledge and pay our respects to the Kaurna people, the Traditional Custodians whose ancestral lands we work and study on and which the University’s campuses at North Terrace, Waite and Roseworthy are built.

We acknowledge the deep feelings of attachment and relationship of the Kaurna people to Country, and we respect and value their past, present and ongoing connection to the land and cultural beliefs.

We also acknowledge all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and First Nations peoples, and recognise and respect their cultural beliefs, custodianship and ongoing connection to their homelands and country.
