| Summary |
"Australia's mining industry is an important part of the economy. It contributes more than $36 billion to Australia's export earnings - more than 60 per cent of our commodity exports."--BOOK JACKET. "Aboriginal Australians have always insisted on the supreme importance of their connection with the land. Conducting business with Aboriginal communities must take account of the pivotal role of the land. Commercial mining need not be hostile to Aboriginal custodianship of the land or to native title. Wik, Mining and Aborigines surveys the successful collaboration which can occur once mutual understanding is reached. It places recent resource development projects in the context of native title legislation, and details the benefits for both sides which derive from contracts designed to acknowledge Aboriginal rights."--BOOK JACKET |
