Land Council

A Land Council is an organization that represents the interests of Indigenous communities regarding their traditional lands. It works to protect, manage, and develop land rights, ensuring Indigenous peoples have a say in how their land is used or conserved. Land Councils often handle land claims, negotiate agreements, and support cultural and environmental preservation. They serve as a bridge between Indigenous communities and government or other entities, advocating for land rights and ensuring decisions respect cultural values and legal rights related to land ownership and usage.
