| Summary |
In the 200 or so years since European settlementof Australia, the way of life of Australia's traditional owners has changed forever. Four aspects of Aboriginal life have been most affected: family life, land rights, self-government and access to sacred sites and freedom of cultural expression. This book covers the story of Aboriginal self-government, then and now. Learn about the struggle of Aboriginal people for the right to self-determination and about the role of bodies such as the former ATSIC and its successor, the Federal Government's new advisory body |
