AB  - Australia is one of the world’s richest countries, its current affluence largely
driven by a commodities boom. That affluence is mainly enjoyed by the settler
majority population, not by the nation’s original inhabitants and their descendants,
the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, or indigenous Australians.
The national population of 22 million people inhabits a continent of 7.7 million
square kilometres and shares a AUD $1.3 trillion economy as measured by gross
domestic product. But according to all standard social indicators, there is a
massive gap between indigenous and other Australians.
The colonisation of Australia extinguished the indigenous hunter-gatherereconomy, rendering the surviving Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders marginal
figures in the imposed capitalist economy. While early colonisation denied indigenous rights in land, from the 1970s progressive laws and judicial findings
returned large tracts of remote land to indigenous ownership. Groups of indigenous people who could demonstrate continuity in traditions, customs and physical
connection to unalienated land could regain title to their ancestral homelands.
An indigenous territorial estate has resulted, now covering more than 20 per cent of
the continent. Almost all of this land is in parts of the continent considered
‘remote’, hence its former ‘unalienated’ status owing to low commercial value.
While the indigenous estate is enormous, only about 20 per cent of the indigenous population has been able to meet the legal tests of customary ownership
and thus regain ownership of their pre-colonial estates.
Indigenous people today live inter-culturally – that is, abiding by two sets ofvalue systems and social norms, western and non-western, capitalist and noncapitalist, with livelihood aspirations that encompass aspects of both. This duality of orientation is especially evident in ‘remote’ and ‘very remote’ Australia,
where 99 per cent of the indigenous estate is located. On the indigenous estate,
the indigenous economy is hybrid: a customary or non-market sector articulates
with both market and state sectors. Across the indigenous estate, the forms of
both interculturality and economic hybridity are diverse.
