Australian Aboriginal Land Rights

Australian Aboriginal Land Rights refer to laws and policies recognizing Indigenous peoples' rights to own, manage, and care for their traditional lands. These rights acknowledge their historical connection and cultural significance of the land, often granting land rights through legal claims, agreements, or legislation. Land rights help Aboriginal communities maintain their cultural practices, protect sacred sites, and improve economic opportunities. The recognition has evolved through legal cases and policies, aiming to address past dispossession and promote self-determination for Indigenous Australians.
