• Land rights return certain areas of Crown land — not private property — to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities for cultural, social, and economic benefit.
• Land rights, native title, and treaty are different legal and political processes, but all aim to recognise First Nations peoples’ connection to Country and support self-determination.
• The movement began with events like the 1966 Wave Hill Walk-Off, leading to landmark laws such as the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976, with progress still ongoing today.
