Aboriginal Land Rights

Aboriginal Land Rights refer to the rights of Indigenous Peoples in Australia to claim ownership and control of their traditional lands. These rights stem from the recognition of their deep connection to the land, culture, and history. Legal frameworks, such as the Native Title Act1993, allow Aboriginal groups to seek recognition and compensation for land they traditionally owned but was taken without consent. Land Rights aim to restore cultural heritage, empower communities, and promote social justice, acknowledging the unique relationship Aboriginal Peoples have with their land, which is essential for their identity and livelihoods.
