The Indigenous Lands: Right, Governance & Environmental Management Project (Indigenous Lands Project) was founded in 1996 with a small grant from the National Native Title Tribunal (NNTT) and Murdoch University, under Murdoch's University-Industry Grant Scheme. The initial project, 'Towards Self Determination: A Socio-Legal History of the Land Rights Movement in Australia,' is ongoing. The instant monograph forms a part of the research for that project, as well as a continuation of work begun by the authors prior to funding of the Indigenous Lands Project.
