First Nation Peoples

Once occupied by First Nation Peoples, rising sea levels several thousand years ago resulted in the indigenous population disappearing after the land became an island. It was resettled from the early 19th century onwards, at first casually by sealers and whalers, and then as part of the colony of South Australia from 1836. Since the 1930s, Aboriginal campsites have been discovered in a number of areas around the Island including the existence of stone tools and shell middens. Kangaroo Island is also known as Karta by the mainland Aboriginal tribes, meaning "Island of the Dead". It is not known why Aboriginals referred to the island as Karta.
