Karta Pintingga

Karta Pintingga is a Kaurna name for Kangaroo Island, across the waters south of mainland Australia. The island is connected to the traditions of Kaurna, Ramindjeri and Ngarrindjeri peoples; a story of Ngurunderi describes an ancestral journey to the island and beyond. In the early nineteenth century sealers visited and lived on the island, bringing Aboriginal women from the mainland into their camps.
