6 Aboriginal Way, Autumn 2018 The negotiations towards the Buthera Agreement took only twelve weeks, in face of opposition from some members of the Narungga community.

On 18 January, three Narungga women won an extension of time in the Supreme Court for people to consider the next step in treaty negotiations with the State Government. The agreement was then accepted by the community at a meeting on 3 February.

The signing came the day before the SA Government goes into caretaker mode, the period in which the government must avoid making major decisions that would limit the freedom of action of an incoming government.

The then Opposition Leader, now Premier, Steven Marshall has previously said that plans for treaty are unworkable and not “The Buthera Agreement represents our today as Narungga descendants, and a “One man said to me today ‘the hard a priority for Aboriginal communities in Narungga dreaming, the foundation of nation rich in passion, pride, culture and work starts now’” he said.

Boomerangs often play a part in creation stories and those stories are re-enacted in song and ceremony, as well as being represented in rock art, painting and carvings.
