The legislation established a means whereby Indigenous Australians could make application to the Federal Court for the recognition of their rights to traditional country. The fiction that Australia was terra nullius (or ‘void country’), which had prevailed since European settlement, was overturned. The ensuing legal cases, mediated resolutions and agreements made within the terms of the Native Title Act quickly proved the importance of having sound, scholarly and well-researched anthropology conducted with claimants so that the fundamentals of the claims made could be properly established. In turn, this meant that those opposing the claims would also benefit from anthropological expertise.Native title (Australia)Law and legislationAboriginal AustraliansNative title (Australia)Law and legislation.Aboriginal Australians346.940432Palmer Kingsley1946-964803MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910275024103321Australian native title anthropology2188982UNINA
