It is a conditions of use that you read this entire page before you visit or use this website.

The Pirltwardli Research Website is a private initiative by Gerhard Rüdiger, Adelaide, South Australia.  It endeavours to collect systematically information relating to the encounter between Aboriginal peoples and German missionaries in South Australia in the mid-1800s, using publicly available sources.

While the website is a faithful representation, as much as possible under the given conditions, of the information contained in these sources, it does not make any claim to their accuracy or scholarly authority, or to be accurate. Researchers are advised to assess the original sources themselves and evaluate their reliability in consultation with Aboriginal elders and specialist scholars.

The following particulars need to be taken into account:
  1. The information contained in this website may be incomplete. For some topics there simply isn’t any information available. If you have access to a source not included here or you are an authority yourself, please keep me updated via Email.
  2. Aboriginal terms are represented according to the spelling used by the original author and, where applicable, also transliterated into a standard terminology. This meta-orthography is an intermediate transliteration of the original text and is not to be regarded as a standard spelling system. Note that Aboriginal languages employ updated or revised spelling systems that may differ from both the original text and its transliteration. Local language centres are in a position to advise on the correct modern spelling for a given language.
  3. Please do not use Aboriginal words from this website to name your business, vehicle, racehorse, property or commercial product. It is standard practice to seek permission from the language owners through a regional language centre.
  4. Aboriginal languages are indicated on map according to the presumed vicinity of their speakers at the time of contact, as interpreted from historical and contemporary accounts. They do not necessarily align with agreed location of traditional country as it is recognised today and have no value as evidence in Native Title, Land Rights or any other deliberations that involve Indigenous rights or obligations.

If you believe you have found an error, please contact me via Email <piltawodli @ grweb.org> and be sure to include references to your source.
