Abstract

While demands for Aboriginal land rights have origins dating back at least as far as the 1930's^ it is only in recent years that these have been given serious recognition by the Stated The general, and even official abandonment of Aboriginals to the status of anything other than a pre-colonial residuum accounts for the complete failure to recognise early land claims.
