Native title has often been one of the most controversial
political, legal and indeed moral issues in Australia. 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.
