Sharing Our Land

Land Claims give Aboriginal northerners ownership of certain lands within traditional territories, and a voice on how all lands and waters within the Land Claim region will be used. Several new national and regional parks have been created as a result. However, Aboriginal land ownership may also mean that travel, or certain activities are restricted in some traditional areas. It's always a good idea to check with the regional Claim organization before you set out on an outdoor adventure. Like any private landowner, they would prefer to know your intentions when you travel on their lands.
