For over 40 years, NSW Aboriginal people have worked to restore their Country and people. \n \nLand rights in NSW included unique features that remain unrealised in other parts of the country. The laws announced the policy of self-determination, compensation for loss, a land claims process, support for enterprises and the establishment of a network of land councils. Today there are 120 land councils that operate across the state. \n \nYet significant features of the land rights promise remain outstanding. Less than 1 per cent of the state has been restituted to Aboriginal land councils, with tens of thousands of land claims yet to be determined.  \n \nProfessor Heidi Norman, a leading expert on Aboriginal political history, has brought together voices at the forefront of the movement, including lawyers, NSW Aboriginal Land Council Youth Committee members, students, academics, activists and organisers, to share the successes, failures and possible futures of NSW land rights.","brand":"University of New South Wales Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46560524861695,"sku":"9781761170072","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_093188aa-5696-46ab-9d7c-29f4260aa9c3.jpg?v=1738606152","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781761170072","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
