Presenter Biography
Mr Jack Kanya Kudnuitya Buckskin is a Kaurna and Narungga man who has dedicated his life re-learning and passing on his knowledge and language to the future generations of Kaurna people. Jack speaks and teaches the once said ‘extinct Kaurna language’ of the Adelaide Plains. Jack has had the opportunity to promote and teach about his language and culture around the world. Jack features in the film Buckskin’ which is about his mission to teach the Kaurna language to as many people as he can in his lifetime.
Jack received the City of Salisbury Living Legend Award in 2011 for sharing the Kaurna language and culture with the wider Salisbury community in the hope that one day those living in the Adelaide Plains will have an understanding of the history of this land.
Light refreshments provided.
