This report outlines efforts by Kaanju families to develop a comprehensive framework for the management of traditional lands and their associated resources on Kaanju homelands. Based at the Chuula homeland camp on the upper Wenlock River in central Cape York, Kaanju people are attempting to move beyond involvement as mere partners or stakeholders in land and resource management projects, which involves a substantial re-orientation in the ways in which land and resource management are undertaken.
The authors explore the opportunities and challenges entailed by this innovative approach, and the cultural and political contexts underlying Kaanju relationships with current land management structures.
