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.

Access: No restriction

Collection: Footner, Ron

Location: Yalata Aboriginal Land - Colona

People: numbering from left to right and rear to front

  1. Margaret Tischler, school teacher



Remarks: 'The early mission school at Yalata was conducted by Miss Margaret Tischler who lived in a caravan and followed the people as they moved camp. Classes were conducted out of the doors under the tarpaulin shelter with portable blackboard. Very hot days, and windy days made lessons difficult; soon after this photograph was taken a whirlwind passed over the class, taking tarpaulins, blackboard, books and papers skywards and scattering them far and wide.'
