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 https://t.co/eJ5qsTKMdG

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

[John Carty @johncarty77]

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.

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… https://t.co/5UTvGgsPBM

"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 👏👏👏

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

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.

[SA Government @sagovau]

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: https://t.co/CAsooAT6eE @SAMuseum @agsa_adelaide
