The Kaurna people are the traditional owners of the greater Adelaide region, including this area, and still maintain a deep relationship with Country, which they have done for tens of thousands of years through their customs and Tjukurpa. Tjukurpa, which includes cultural stories and lore, will profoundly influence the way the Glenthorne National Park-Ityamaiitpinna Yarta is managed.{{cite web | title=Glenthorne  National Park-Ityamaiitpinna Yarta | website=National Parks and Wildlife Service South Australia | url=https://www.parks.sa.gov.au/parks/glenthorne-national-park-ityamaiitpinna-yarta | access-date=19 December 2021 | archive-date=19 December 2021 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211219062149/https://www.parks.sa.gov.au/parks/glenthorne-national-park-ityamaiitpinna-yarta | url-status=live }} 50px Text may have been copied from this source, which is available under a [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/au/ Attribution 3.0 Australia (CC BY 3.0 AU)] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211005225624/https://www.creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/au/ |date=5 October 2021 }} licence.
