How much land do Aboriginal Australian people own, control or co-manage?
Australia’s Indigenous Land Estate (2024)
The state of Western Australia- the land mass is nearly five times the size of Texas, and twice the size of Alaska.
Land tenure recognises our land rights. Ownership comes in many forms depending on the dispossession history of each state or territory. It has never been easy.
In 2026 a non-Indigenous person attempted to set off an explosive device amongst a 300-strong group of Aboriginal people, lots of little kids, and allies wearing the red, black and yellow colours in an annual peaceful rally in Perth, the capital of Western Australia.
In Australia the grand daughter of the enslaved can own the land in two generations. Legally, ethically and permanently.
Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.
