National Native Title Conference 2010-People, Place, Power
The annual National Native Title Conference is the largest Indigenous policy conference in Australia and is a flagship event for the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS). This year, the Native Title Conference will be co-convened by the National Native Title Council and hosted by the Ngunnawal peoples, the traditional owners of the Canberra area.
