Because the legislation is an integral part of the way in which indigenous people are defined and managed in relation to the State, it serves to elicit particular responses in landowner organisation and self-identification on the part of indigenous people. These pieces of legislation actively contour the progressive evolution of landowner social, territorial and political organisation at all levels in these nation states. The contributors to this volume provide in-depth anthropological case studies of social structural and cultural transformations engendered by the confrontation between states, developers and indigenous communities over rights to customarily owned land. 410 0$aAsia-Pacific environment monograph ;$v3. 606 $aLand titles$xRegistration and transfer$zAustralia 606 $aLand use$zAustralia$xHistory 615 0$aLand titles$xRegistration and transfer 615 0$aLand use$xHistory. 676 $a347.2 702 $aWeiner$b James F. 702 $aGlaskin$b Katie 801 0$bWaSeSS 801 1$bWaSeSS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910137634403321 996 $aCustomary land tenure and registration in Australia and Papua New Guinea$92264074 997 $aUNINA
