Yorta Yorta vs Victoria

The Yorta Yorta versus Victoria case was a legal dispute where the Yorta Yorta people argued that their traditional rights and connection to the land in northern Victoria had been unfairly disregarded by the state government. They sought recognition of their indigenous ownership and cultural heritage. The case highlighted issues around Indigenous land rights and the importance of acknowledging native title under Australian law. Although the court did not grant full native title, the case raised awareness about Indigenous connection to land and influenced future legal decisions related to Aboriginal rights in Australia.
