Land rights
National Native Title Tribunal
This site gives a concise overview of The Native Title Act, through the publication of a broad range of native title papers. The Tribunal is a Commonwealth Government body that facilitates the making of agreements among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, governments, industry and others whose rights of interest may co-exist with native title rights and interests.

Reconciliation
Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation
A site dedicated to bringing the reconciliation process to the attention of the wider community. It is recommended for its encouragement of community involvement and ideas.

Intellectual Property
Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP) Project
This site aims to develop recommendations for increasing the protection and recognition of Indigenous cultural and intellectual property. The publication of a discussion paper on the site hopes to encourage a wide number of responses to various reform options.

House of Aboriginality
The House of Aboriginality is an evolving multimedia project about the so-called ‘imitations industry’ which has arisen to exploit the popularity of Aboriginal art. We recommend this site for raising awareness of the issues of copyright and cultural integrity in the commercial application of indigenous imageries.
