Kaurna leaders have built a new kind of burial ground, Wangayarta, a place to hold their repatriated ancestors. Forever. Every Australian should know about this, and the history that made it necessary ⁦@GuardianAus⁩ ⁦@PPDaley⁩ ⁦@SAMuseum⁩ theguardian.com/australia-news…

I believe there is room in Australian hearts for the Statement from the Heart.

Here’s a heartwarming minute to share things that are heart-breakingly longer and harder than a minute. Moments from the recent reburial of Kaurna ancestors at the Wangayarta Burial Ground. A ceremony shared with the Governor of SA, and our AG @kymaher @SAMuseum @nativetitlesa

Today Kaurna leaders conducted the largest reburial of ancestral remains in Australian history. What a traumatic burden they have carried, and what a privilege to stand with them today to help lay some of that burden down at Wangayarta; the burial ground we built for this purpose

"No one is going to go there and disturb them old people, they're here to rest now," said Elder Moogy Sumner. sbs.com.au/nitv/article/2…

Last year we built a burial ground with Kaurna leaders for the return of Kaurna ancestors. #Wangayarta . For everyone who is interested in #repatriation , what it means and what it takes, this video below gives a sense of what that looked and felt like… instagram.com/tv/Ceo9dTPBaJW…

"We had to create a new place to deal with our history. We had to recreate a burial ground ... so that they [the remains of Aboriginal ancestors] don't spend another 100 years on a shelf." - @johncarty77 👏👏👏

Loving the important discussions going on at Adelaide Writers' Week in the live recording of #archivefever with @YvesRees @clareawright @johncarty77 and Jared Thomas. #adlww #peaknerd

Gorgeous story by @ToryShepherd about an incredible find. “They’d been in this time warp, this shipping container for 40 years. In a black hole. Then they’ve been spat back out by the universe.” - @johncarty77 theguardian.com/artanddesign/2…

700+ #SAjobs will be created as we build a new storage facility to house & protect some of #SouthAustralia's most treasured cultural works. It'll provide the space that’s needed in a temperature-controlled environment so our cultural history can be enjoyed by future generations.

Early works have begun on a $86.5 million world-class, purpose-built storage facility that will preserve SA's important cultural collections for future generations and create more than 733 jobs over the next 3 years. Read more: bit.ly/3ssos1I @SAMuseum @agsa_adelaide
