Land Won Back
- Read about one of the longest running land claims in the Northern Territory… The Warumungu Land Claim
Aboriginal land is private property owned under special freehold title. It is inalienable – it can't be bought, acquired or forfeited.
Land is formally held by a Land Trust.
Aboriginal people have affinity with particular areas of land. Unlike the European view of land most Aboriginal people in the Northern Territory gain their identity from their country, not someone else's land. Unlike Western ideas of land, one 'block' can't be exchanged for another.
