Aboriginal Land Act

The Aboriginal Land Act is legislation that recognizes and protects the land rights of Indigenous Aboriginal peoples. It establishes legal frameworks for land ownership, management, and use, often enabling Aboriginal communities to have control over their traditional lands. The Act aims to support cultural connection, economic development, and self-determination for Aboriginal peoples by ensuring their land rights are legally recognized and respected. It also sets guidelines for land transfers, leases, and developments to promote sustainable and culturally appropriate use of these lands.
