Summary "This book, together with the companion volume on Prescribed Bodies Corporate, examines the policies and practices of various regimes of governance on Aboriginal land including the emerging regimes for the management of native title areas, and the incorporation of Indigenous interests into land administration. The authors have augmented this assessment with a comprehensive comparative analysis of regimes in operation in other jurisdictions. This study highlights the need for such structures of engagement to be designed in ways that reflect Indigenous peoples' interests, perspectives and aspirations. To do so, Indigenous peoples must be involved in their design and implementation."--BOOK JACKET
