Ngadlu tampinthi ngadlu Kaurna Miyurna yartangka. Munaintya puru purruna ngadlu-itya. Munaintyanangku yalaka tarrkarriana tuntarri.
We acknowledge we are on Kaurna Miyurna land. The Dreaming is still living. From the past, in the present, into the future, forever.
This item consists of one magnetic tape recorded by Norman B Tindale at Papunya (NT) in 1964. Tindale and an associate, Prof. JGD Clark, travelled to central Australia to observe Aboriginal stone working techniques. This tape records songs sung by Ngalia men while working stone. The tape box contains the following annotations in Tindale's hand: 'Kangaroo totem and other songs sung by Ngalia men when at a stone tjurunga mine site at ŋadinba, 21 May 1964'.
