Featuring contributions from prominent Aboriginal community leaders, legal experts and academics, this capacious work provides an overview of the context and legacy of the residue of treaty proposals and negotiations in past decades; a consideration of the implications of treaty in an Indigenous, national and international context; and, finally, some reflections on regional aspirations and achievements."--Publisher's description Analysis Treaty Aboriginal australians Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes English Subject Aboriginal Australians -- Treaties Aboriginal Australians -- Civil rights Aboriginal Australians -- Land tenure.
