Conflict In The Statutory Elicitation Of Aboriginal Culture In Australia, James F. Weiner
Conflict In The Statutory Elicitation Of Aboriginal Culture In Australia, James F. Weiner
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
In order for Aboriginal rights and interests to be recognised under the Native Title Act (1993), such rights and interests must arise from laws and customs that can be shown to have continuity with the particular set of laws and customs that existed at the time of sovereignty, or, at least, at the time of first European contact.

This collection of essays addresses some of the issues that face our society in deciding how best to handle access to, and monopolies over, knowledge. It includes detailed examination of the social, …
