“…While there was, following the initial native title legislation, speculation as to the role of anthropological findings in the expected large number of claims (Hiatt, 1996, 35), most would agree with legal academic Simon Young (2016, 153) that, over the past 27 years, cases have been ‘frequently won or lost in court (or in negotiation) on the basis of the anthropological evidence’. Leaving aside debates, doubts and assertions about the politically most appropriate response from anthropology to what has been an enormous demand from Indigenous and other parties for professional research services, my different interest here is what the discipline may offer regarding studies focused on the broader nation.…”

Can native title, across remote, rural and urban settings, complement and overlap with current and future Australian senses of belonging? This is to explore a form of cultural coexistence that is potentially in tension with a sharp and mutually exclusive categorical distinction between those who embrace Indigenous identity and others. Can such cultural coexistence reinforce legal and economic achievements of land justice for the Indigenous minority yet also contribute to rich senses of place and belonging across the broader Australian society? While anthropology as a social science has a substantial and important practical research role in negotiations for, and outcomes of, particular native title claims, a further challenge is understanding the extent to which post‐claim coexisting identities and interests might enrich Australia's trajectory in resolving legacies of colonialism.
