Wednesday, 30 July 2008
Indigenous people in North America have been mapping aspects of their land and resources for many years. Many First Nations communities in Canada have done this type of mapping which is known by various names such as 'cultural mapping', 'land use and occupancy mapping' or 'tenure mapping'. In the hands of Indigenous groups these maps play a powerful role in negotiations, in the courtroom and in natural resource planning.

The Indigenous Land Corporation (ILC) is a relatively new Commonwealth statutory authority. Although it commenced operations on 5 June 1995, it has only recently started its functional operations of land acquisition and management. However, it is new not only in the sense of its short operational existence, but also in the unique policy mechanisms enshrined in its enabling legislation that aim to provide better outcomes in Indigenous land acquisition and land management.
