The extinguishing of the Kaurna tribal identity was remarkably swift.
The Kaurna people prefer not to borrow from English in their revivification of language but return to the age-old tradition of delivering new terms for their existing vocabulary.
Amery’s role in all of this is to try to make sense of these historical records and to use his extensive linguistic skills to make all the language connections, comparing and contrasting, and putting all the findings in their context.

 City of Burnside - Our History - Adelaide, South Australia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The Kaurna people lived in family groups or clans and led a hunter-gatherer existence, moving about their strictly defined tribal lands in a never-ending quest for food.
For a few years the Adelaide Kaurnas and tribes from the Murray River were present in considerable numbers: "At every creek and gully you would see their wurlies and their fires at night", wrote James Milne Young, who grew up near Beaumont and later kept a nursery-garden in the Burnside Village.
Just as the Kaurnas themselves had made the banks of the Torrens their main tribal base, so did the Europeans; and the creeks that came down from the hills were similarly valued.

 Lilliths Realm - Aboriginal Genocide   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Kaurna is the name given to the original inhabitants of the Adelaide Plains (although the term "Adelaide Plains" is yet another imposed European concept of boundaries and borders).
Kaurna population declined rapidly and those who survived were either forced to move to the the fringes and small towns outside of the city, or were relocated against their will to mission stations in other Aboriginal peoples lands, living in great fear of their future.
Kaurna are still being dispossessed both physically and mentally; the mental persecution is the most powerful and what hurts the most.

The community has rejected the suggestion that a "Kaurna Park" should be built on a narrow strip of land beside the Jervois Bridge in Glanville.
Kaurna Elder Veronica Brodie told The Guardian last week that the idea that a monument on the otherwise unusable 50-metre strip of land would somehow sufficiently recognise the Aboriginal history of Port Adelaide is pure tokenism.
The strip in question is currently part of a vacant riverfront parcel of land which is earmarked for "development" into a precinct that would include commercial and apartment buildings of up to seven stories.

 Kaurna Warra - Home Page
Since the Kaurna managed the lands given to them in trust for thousands of years without these problems emerging, hidden within these words are a way of life that builds the land up rather than denudes it as is happening at the moment.
That is why the study of the Kaurna language is as important today as it was when it was banned by the settlers.
To build an active language data base requires the ceaseless contributions of all people who have an acquaintance with Kaurna warra, both in the living and older form, or the curiosity of people who want to expand their understanding of this language for personal purposes.

The intensive settlement of the Adelaide plains during the last century has had a devastating effect on the Kaurna people and their culture.
Tindale (1974) suggests that the Kaurna peoples "most consistent movements were towards the seashore in summer and inland at the beginning of winter to find better shelter and better sources of firewood".
The upper slopes were used for hunting possums, bandicoots and other small animals and particularly for supplies of the cossid larvae of the large moth Xylentes affinis found boring in the stems of the Golden Wattles Acacia pycnantha (Tindale 1974).
