With input from leading commentators and senior jurists, this account provides a solid understanding of the key problems surrounding Australia's native title. Consolidating 16 papers presented at the national Native Title Conference since the historic Mabo judgment, this inspirational compilation ties native title to the fundamental issue that is Indigenous peoples' place within the Australian political and legal framework and within its national identity. With contributions about New Zealand, the United States, and the United Nations, this reference also offers a comparative understanding of international Indigenous land rights and interests.
