On July 6, the Ngadjuri people of South Australia received their second Federal Court-recognised native title consent determination, at a packed Burra Town Hall.
The determination area covers South Australian towns across the Mid North including Kapunda, Clare, Burra, Peterborough and Yunta.
In the five years since their first determination, a joint title overlap with the Adnyamathanha Ngadjuri and Wilyakali peoples, Ngadjuri representatives spoke with great adoration for their Country.
Ngadjuri Elder Aunty Patricia Waria-Read spoke at the native title hearing of her people’s history living in the area and encouraged those in attendance to reflect on the past while looking forward to a brighter future.
