Annotation

Following the abandonment of limitative policies, the Kaurna people of the South Australian Adelaide Plains drifted back to Adelaide and many started to identify with their Kaurna ancestry. This study explores how this was a driving force for Kaurna language revival and the role the Kaurna language now plays for the returning Kaurna diaspora and for others in metropolitan Adelaide.
