- Summary:
-
"The mining industry is an important contributor to regional communities and most mining activity takes place in remote parts of the country, with 60% of mining activity taking place in close proximity to Indigenous communities. This handbook will acknowledge the traditional and historical connection that Aboriginal people have to the land, and the effects of colonisation and development, including mining. It will also address cross cultural issues and how mine operations impact on neighbouring Indigenous communities. Issues to do with the recognition of land rights and native title are discussed as well as how relationships are developed and fostered between mining companies and Indigenous communities through agreement making. Recognition of differences in culture, language, law and custom are an important part of these processes, and some principles of community engagement are discussed."--Dept. of Resources, Energy and Tourism website.
