In 2011 the annual National Native Title Conference will be co-convened by the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS) and Queensland South Native Title Services (QSNTS) on the traditional lands of the Turrbal, Jagera, Yuggera and Ugarapul Peoples, the traditional owners of the wider Brisbane area.
The conference engages with native title as an active agenda for justice for people and country – both before and after the outcome of a native title determination, and within the broader compass of traditional ownership.
This year’s conference “Our Country, Our Future” is reflected in the following themes:
Relevant topics within these themes include: regional alliances, shared country, decision making, capacity, mediation, native title benefits, native title achievements, PBCs (prescribed bodies corporate), sea country, urban native title, country and belonging, unity and diversity, social and emotional wellbeing, natural resources and mining, conservation, climate change, water, history and ethnography, connection, reversing the onus of proof, claim management, collections management, alternative settlements, agreement making, compulsory acquisition, community development, housing, NTRB and non-NTRB representation, amending the NTA, the role of the judiciary, Federal Court developments, State and Territory comparisons, and constitutional reform.
Conference presentations will be in five formats: keynotes and plenary speeches, debate forums (a new format), technical workshops, topical workshops, and Indigenous talking circles.
