Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania
The Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania (ALCT) is an organization that represents the interests of Aboriginal people in Tasmania. It works to promote and protect Aboriginal culture, heritage, and rights, particularly in relation to land and natural resources. The council plays a key role in negotiating land claims and ensuring that Aboriginal voices are heard in decision-making processes.
Established under the Aboriginal Lands Act 1995, the ALCT is responsible for managing land returned to Aboriginal people in Tasmania. It also provides support and resources for Aboriginal communities, helping to foster cultural awareness and education about the history and rights of the Tasmanian Aboriginal people.
