Northern Territory Land Council
The Northern Territory Land Council (NTLC) is an organization that represents Aboriginal people in the Northern Territory of Australia. Established in 1978, it plays a crucial role in managing land rights and ensuring that Indigenous communities have a voice in decisions affecting their land and resources. The NTLC works to protect Aboriginal culture and heritage while promoting economic development and social justice.
The council is involved in various activities, including negotiating land use agreements and providing support for Indigenous landowners. It also engages with government bodies and other organizations to advocate for the rights and interests of Aboriginal people, ensuring their perspectives are considered in policy-making processes.
