Australian Indigenous Land Council

The Australian Indigenous Land Council, often part of broader organizations like the National Indigenous Australians Agency, advocates for the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to own and manage their traditional lands. It works to secure land rights, promote Indigenous decision-making, and support cultural heritage preservation. The council plays a key role in negotiating land use and development agreements, aiming to empower Indigenous communities through land ownership and stewardship while ensuring their cultural and environmental connection to the land is respected and protected.
