We acknowledge we are on Kaurna Miyurna land. The Dreaming is still living. From the past, in the present, into the future, forever.

Cultural Sensitivity Warning
It is a condition of use of the cultural components of the Museum Archives that users ensure that any disclosure of information contained in this collection is consistent with the views and sensitivities of Indigenous people. Users are warned that there may be words and descriptions that may be culturally sensitive and which might not normally be used in certain public or community contexts. Users should also be aware that some records document research into people and cultures using a scientific research model dating from the first half of the twentieth century, and depicts people as research subjects in ways which may today be considered offensive. Some records contain terms and annotations that reflect the author's attitude or that of the period in which the item was written, and may be considered inappropriate today in some circumstances. Users should be aware that in some Indigenous communities, hearing names of deceased persons might cause sadness or distress, particularly to the relatives of these people. Furthermore, certain totemic symbols may also have prohibitions relating to the age, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. Records included may be subject to access conditions imposed by Indigenous communities and/or depositors. Users are advised that access to some materials may be subject to these terms and conditions that the Museum is required to maintain.

Kitabal (NSW)

LocationHeadwaters of Clarence, Richmond, and Logan rivers on main Dividing Range; Killamey to Urbenville, Woodenbong, Unumgar, and Tooloom; at Rathdowney and about Spicer Gap, Qld.; south to near Tabulam and Drake. On the 1940 map the boundary was incorrectly shown. According to some information, it may be a dominant horde of the Jukambe, along with the Biri:n and six other hordes. Radcliffe-Brown, however, associates it with the Jukambal as a subtribe, and Mathews, who implies it is a tribe, extends the territory to Allora, which is incorrect. Despite the corrections, the area occupied seems to be of tribal rather than hordal size. The vocabulary gathered by Thomas (1900) closely parallels one gathered by me in 1938 and my informants at Woodenbong insisted that Kitabal was their proper tribal name. See additional notes under Jukambe, Queensland.
