Germany returns artefacts to Australian Indigenous community
Germany has returned some priceless artefacts to the Kaurna Indigenous community in South Australia.
The country’s Foreign Affairs Minister Annalena Baerbock has finally touched down in Australia after her planned trip last year was cancelled.
“At first glance, these seem to be just everyday objects,” Ms Baerbock said in a joint press conference with Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong.
“But each of these items holds countless stories.
“Stories about how the Kaurna people lived over 150 years ago – how they hunted, how they fished, how they provided for their families, how they honoured the land they lived on.”
