Indigenous people all over the world are challenging the forces that deprived them of their lands. For indigenous people in Africa and Australia as elsewhere, land is central to cultural identity as well as economic survival. The call for land rights is the most clearly articulated demand of indigenous groups.   The arrival of the new Millennium offers an opportunity to ensure that, for indigenous peoples, the next thousand years are not blighted like the last. At this important point in history, they want their cause to be heard and they want to gain new commitments to guarantee them a better future, and redress past wrongs.   By focusing on the stories of the land rights struggles and developments, whoseland.com explores issues of relevance to all of us, our relationships with others, the future of indigenous minority cultures, and custody of the land for future generations.   This website area allows for comment and contact with any one mentioned on the site. Please use this area to forge links you may otherwise not have known about. It also publishes papers relating to land rights issues and claims. The purpose is to make available original documents for whoseland.com users to view. This material will inform and challenge us as to what kind of new Millennium we subscribe to - one that persists with the past or one that offers a future with greater respect for the world in which we live and all the people who populate it.   PLEASE EXPLORE AND CONTRIBUTE
