There are many sacred sites and objects around the Flinders
Ranges that are beautiful to look at but which need to be cared
for because they all have a special meaning to the Adnyamathanha
people. They provide Adnyamathanha people with a sense of their
cultural heritage. Cave paintings and carvings, some of which
are thousands of years old, are protected by law. Adnyamathanha
people have worked co-operatively with the National Parks and
Wildlife Service in order to explain and share the significance
of their sacred sites. |
The majority
of sacred sites are open to the general public and in the
Northern Flinders Ranges, Adnyamathanha people have provided
interpretative signage for cultural tourists in order to promote
greater understanding among indigenous and non-indigenous
Australians.
Visitors may also visit sites of historical significance to
the Adnyamathanha people since European settlement, such as
old ruins and graves. This will enable them to understand
the Contact history of the Adnyamathanha people and contemporary
issues.
