At Kool Tours, we applaud the Kangaroo Island Council for taking meaningful steps to acknowledge the rich tapestry of history on Kangaroo Island. The decision to adopt a new Acknowledgement Statement reflects a growing recognition of the importance of honouring all who have contributed to making the Island the vibrant home it is today. We are particularly heartened by the Council’s commitment to recognising the spiritual significance of this land to Indigenous Australians especially in our case Ngarrindjeri, and Ramindjeri peoples, whose connection to Kangaroo Island goes back thousands of years.
Mark, founder of Kool Tours, has been proud to work collaboratively with the Kangaroo Island Council on initiatives that deepen understanding and respect for Aboriginal culture on the Island. The new Acknowledgement Statement, which honours both the Indigenous custodians and those who have settled on the Island over the years, is an encouraging step forward. This inclusive approach paves the way for greater cultural awareness and understanding, which aligns with our mission at Kool Tours to share the profound history and stories of this land.
As we move forward, Kool Tours remains dedicated to continuing our collaboration with the Council and the wider community. Together, we can ensure that Kangaroo Island’s Indigenous heritage is not only acknowledged but celebrated. Through our cultural tours, we offer visitors a chance to experience the Island’s ancient stories, sacred sites, and the deep connection between its First Peoples and the natural environment.
We believe this new statement reflects the spirit of cooperation and shared respect that is essential for building a brighter, more inclusive future for Kangaroo Island. It highlights the value of working together to honour the past while looking forward to a future where all voices are heard, and all contributions are valued.
Mark and the team at Kool Tours are excited to continue offering authentic cultural experiences that educate and inspire. We look forward to building on our positive relationship with the Kangaroo Island Council and working together to foster a deeper connection between visitors, locals, and the land.
