We acknowledge we are on Kaurna Miyurna land. The Dreaming is still living. From the past, in the present, into the future, forever.
This series includes about 60 Nukunu words recorded at the Baroota Aboriginal Reserve, near Port Germein in South Australia, on 1 September 1936 by Gwenda McMurtrie, apparently one of Parkes' students. The vocabulary is titled 'The Nunkunu [sic] language'. Correspondence indicates that the vocabulary was collected mainly from Nukunu women, as the men were out shearing at the time.
The word-list includes general vocabulary items such as words for native fauna and parts of the human body, as well as some place-names, e.g. Mudlowie binda (Port Germein), Widalu (Black Hill) and Gooponga (Mt Mambray).
