The Land Rights Act is a piece of legislation designed to recognize and protect the land rights of Indigenous peoples. It aims to address historical injustices by granting legal recognition to the traditional lands that Indigenous communities have occupied for generations. This act allows these communities to claim ownership and manage their land, ensuring their cultural and spiritual connections are preserved. The act also facilitates negotiations between Indigenous groups and government authorities regarding land use and management. By establishing a framework for land claims, the Land Rights Act promotes self-determination and empowers Indigenous communities to participate in decisions affecting their land and resources.
