Acknowledgement of Country

Port Hedland International Airport acknowledge the Kariyarra Aboriginal people as the Traditional owners of the country we work on, and their connection to land, water and community. We pay our respects to all Traditional Owners and Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Welcome from the Kariyarra

Marapikurrinya Kariyarra ngurrara ngarli wanthngalinha mapaji mayili-la

Kariyarra-la wangka-ngka.

Nyintakuru parniku ngarnarna-la yijala kurraji milpanaha-ku

Kulitharta jinaangu ngarnanala kurntanagrni

Wapa kanjaru ngurra ngarnarna tharntu,

Wakayi mara tupirri ngarni nhulanguru.

This is the land of the Kariyarra people, the Traditional Owners.

Walk with us, learn our Culture, respect our Country.

Look after the land and the land will look after you.

Welcome to Kariyarra Country.
