The process itself is flawed, unfair and culturally damaging for both men and women. It is also gender blind, and thus gender negative. The native title process has allowed for sacred men’s sites and story lines on our country to be desecrated. I have had to place my career on hold to coordinate my family groups, and community to succeed with native title applications from the registration process through to consent determination. I don’t think our native title determination gave us any rights. It’s just made everything harder. Most of the men I know in native title process are in it for their own greed and financial benefit. They tell us we have to do things against our culture to get this piece of paper that says white fellas agree you been here. But to get even that we have to tell them all these business things and for us that was all man’s things. Us women the ones that know everything anyway. But all that knowledge not going to get us native title. My experience with a Regional Native Title Representative body is they don’t fully engage and consult with Traditional Owners regarding the native title process. Claims have involved overlaps with same legal representation, not according to common law; therefore allows modern society laws to misinterpret and adoption rights. Women’s greater obligations to family and community means that we don’t have the same time and opportunity to practice our Law on country. There’s no recognition in native title that the way we practice women’s business on country has had to change because of mainstream laws. The knowledge that we continue to hand down is seen as lesser because we don’t practice it the same way. 46 PBCs have done nothing but keep everyone in the dark about native title. PBC has played a big role in the Indigenous communities’ mental health and has impacted on our community in a negative way. Women in Native Title: Native Title Report 2024 Even when you get native title after 14 years of fighting and crying over it, there’s just another government agency that comes in and controls you. ORIC it’s called. And they watch you, question everything you do as a PBC. But they are not there to help, they are there to punish.
