The Aboriginal Lands Act 1995 is a piece of legislation in Australia that aims to recognize and protect the rights of Aboriginal people over their traditional lands. It provides a framework for the return of land to Aboriginal communities, allowing them to manage and control these areas according to their cultural practices and needs. Under this Act, Aboriginal groups can claim land that holds cultural significance to them. The legislation also establishes processes for land management and encourages cooperation between Aboriginal communities and government authorities, promoting the preservation of Aboriginal heritage and culture.
