Mr Jeffrey Newchurch is a Narrunga Kaurna man and respected Elder. He was born and raised in Point Pearce and has been working closely with archaeologists, the museum and the state government on the Aboriginal repatriation program, which involves the reburial of Aboriginal remains after burial sites have been disturbed during excavations. Jeffrey expresses the importance of family and country to Aboriginal people and the cultural significance of life events such as funerals and how important it is to do it “our way”.
