The traditional owners were moved to Yalata, within a kilometre or so of the main highway from Adelaide to Perth. Estranged from their lands and unable to visit their sacred sites or attend to the ritual obligations owed to the lands, the Yalata community became a troubled one. A legal battle began in 1980 to enable these past injustices to be remedied. Young lawyer Garry Hiskey, senior solicitor for the Aboriginal Legal Rights Movement, was assigned to the case. This is his story of the fight to return the Maralinga lands to their original owners, helping them gain an inalienable freehold title to some 76,000 square kilometres of land. It's a story of intrigue, divided loyalties, political controversy, voting rights, and of a mining company finding itself the meat in the sandwich in a battle of wills as to who should be permitted to explore and mine the lands on which the customs and beliefs of Anangu were based. 650 0 $a Aboriginal Australians, Treatment of $z Maralinga (S.A.) $z Maralinga (S.A.) 650 0 $a Aboriginal Australians $x Land tenure $z Maralinga (S.A.) $z Maralinga (S.A.) 650 0 $a Aboriginal Australians $x Civil rights. 650 0 $a Aboriginal Australians $x Legal status, laws, etc. 650 0 $a Atomic bomb $z Maralinga (S.A.) $z Maralinga (S.A.) $x Testing. 651 0 $a Maralinga (S.A.) $x History. 651 0 $a Australia $x Politics and government $y 1945- 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Politics and government $y 1945- 650 7 $a Aboriginal Australians $x Civil rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00794502 650 7 $a Aboriginal Australians $x Land tenure. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00794530 650 7 $a Aboriginal Australians $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00794534 650 7 $a Aboriginal Australians, Treatment of. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01743348 650 7 $a Atomic bomb $x Testing. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00820590 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a Australia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204543 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 651 7 $a South Australia $z Maralinga. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01221737 648 7 $a Since 1945 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017013141.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1040D4DA177D11EC850ADFAD22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
