Most of the native title lands in Australia that have been returned to Indigenous traditional owners are in the deserts of the Northern Territory and South Australia, representing only a few of the surviving Indigenous language groups.

Aboriginal elder, Oodgeroo Noonuccal, has suggested the only honourable way forward for Aboriginal land rights by the invading government. The descendents of every Aboriginal language group, or tribe, in Australia, must have some lands returned within their traditional borders. These lands must not be privatised, but returned to the first nations governing bodies to remain in the possession of these communities in perpetuity.

The undersigned demand that a share of traditional lands be returned to the communities of each Aboriginal language group in Australia.
