Pondi: Kurri Winth-amaldi (Murray Cod: River Creator)
Highlights
- Explore the rich heritage of the Ngarrindjeri, revealing their deep connection to the Lakes and Coorong regions.
- Discover Aunty Ellen Trevorrow's Pondi, a stunning woven piece honouring cultural traditions and natural resources.
- Experience the abundant fresh foods and medicines of Ruwe, highlighting the sustainable practices of the water people.
- Visit the SA Maritime Museum to appreciate the artistry and significance of Ngarrindjeri creations like Pondi.
The Ngarrindjeri are ‘water people’ from the Lakes, Coorong, Great Southern Ocean and river systems of the area south and east of Adelaide in South Australia.
For tens of thousands of years Ruwe (Country) has provided them with abundant fresh foods, medicines and rushes for weaving baskets, nets, scoops, fish, and eel traps. The story of Pondi is a key Ngarrindjeri creation story. Aunty Ellen Trevorrow created the Pondi woven from river rushes (Cyperu gymnacaulos and Cyperus vaginatus). Through it, she honours her ngartji or totem, on display at the SA Maritime Museum.
