Ever since the High Court's Mabo decision of 1992, the attempt to understand and adapt native title to different contexts and claims has been an ongoing concern for that broad range of people involved with claims. In this book, originally published in 2003, Peter Sutton sets out fundamental anthropological issues to do with customary rights, kinship, identity, spirituality and so on that are relevant for lawyers and others working on title claims. Sutton offers a critical discussion of anthropological findings in the field of Aboriginal traditional interests in land and waters, focusing on the kinds of customary rights that are 'held' in Aboriginal 'countries', the types of groups whose members have been found to enjoy those rights, and how such groups have fared over the last 200 years of Australian history.Aboriginal AustraliansLand tenureAboriginal AustraliansCivil rightsAboriginal AustraliansLegal status, laws, etcLand tenureLaw and legislationAustraliaNative title (Australia)Customary lawAustraliaAustraliaRace relationsAustraliaSocial policyAustraliaPolitics and governmentAboriginal AustraliansLand tenure.Aboriginal AustraliansCivil rights.Aboriginal AustraliansLegal status, laws, etc.Land tenureLaw and legislationNative title (Australia)Customary law333.2Sutton Peter1946-849481UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910457756003321Native title in Australia1897004UNINA
