30 November 2009This study investigates the applicability of home ownership to Indigenous people living on communal title lands. The research examines the capacity for Indigenous people to enter this tenure, and whether there is an aspiration to do so. A central theme is also the meaning of 'home ownership' to Indigenous people living on communal title lands, and the constructs of home ownership with which Indigenous people identify. Whether there is any contrast between the meanings, experiences and expectations of those living on communal title land and those on non-communal title land, in public rental, or private rental, was also a key theme.
