Adnyamathanha

Northern Flinders Ranges Country in South Australia belongs to the Adnyamathanha people. Adnyamathanha is our nation. Adnya is ‘rock’ and mathanha is ‘people’, so the Adnyamathanha people of the Flinders Ranges are the people of the rocks. ‘Our spirit actually goes back to be part of the rock or the earth. All these rocks and ranges have the spirit of our people in them. The spirit of our people is embedded in this Country.’
