Presenters
Drew Kilner
I am a Kaurna, Ngarrindjeri man from Aldinga Beach where I love to fish, walk in the bush, and do anything that connects me to my Culture.
I am continually broadening my involvement in Kaurna Cultural events, practices and new enterprises, and this has become the focus of my life. Some of the things I am involved in at present are the repatriation of our ancestral remains, the healing of Country through revegetation projects, Cultural heritage surveys and monitoring and the Kaurna Cultural Burn (firestick farming) team being trained by Victor Steffensen.
Liesl von der Borch
Liesl von der Borch is an early childhood educator passionate about place-based pedagogy and advocating for children’s awareness of the First Nations language group, history, and Culture of where they live. She regards this as crucial to the future of ‘truth-telling’ and reconciliation. To this end she has developed in collaboration with Kaurna Elders and educators three workshops for young children, enabling them to experience and learn, on Country, the significance of parts of the city of Adelaide and the lower foothills. She has been conducting these excursions since 2017 with an overwhelming response from the children, educators and parents involved.
