At
Camp Coorong we offer various activities
we feel will suit any person or group
wishing to learn more about Aboriginal
History, Arts, Crafts and the environment
within the Ngarrindjeri region.
The idea of the development of Camp
Coorong was a vision that we, the
Ngarrindjeri people, had back in 1985.
We believed that we must have a place
where people can come to learn about our
heritage and culture. We also
believed that this would lead to
non-Aboriginal people developing a better
understanding of our Ngarrindjeri
traditions and our relationships to the
land, waters, trees, plants and animals
At Camp Coorong, to develop better
understandings, we tell of our traditions
and our way of life before European
invasion of our lands, We teach the
ways that my ancestors lived.
We take groups out on field trips upon
the land talking about places that
are important to us.
We teach our Ngarrindjeri basket-weaving
techniques. We tell of our stories
relating to the land, waters, trees,
plants, birds and animals--people call
them our dreaming stories.
