About Kira...

Kira Yaltu Bain is a Ngarrindjeri woman that was born on Kaurna Yarta. She has been learning Kaurna since she was 13 years old and has since been teaching it in a variety of organisations and schools. Kira is a Kaurna Language Trainer at Tauondi Aboriginal College and dances with Tal-Kin-Jeri dance group. Kira has been involved in resource development, consultation, language translations, dancing and teaching language qualifications and workshops. She has assisted many schools and organisations with increasing their use of Kaurna language whilst on Kaurna Yarta. Kira aims to raise her children as multilingual, immersing them in as much of their languages and cultures as possible to ensure they have a strong sense of identity and connection. Kira wants to give her children the opportunities that her family didn’t have, the right to speak their language and practice their culture and with the help of her Elders and community she is able to do that.
