Purpose of Meeting
The purpose of this meeting is to:
- confirm the boundary of the Eastern Kuku Yalanji Native Title Group with the Western Yalanji Native Title Group, as negotiated by the Eastern Kuku Yalanji nominated representatives on 1 August 2024;
- confirm the proposed list of apical ancestors which make up the group description for the Eastern Kuku Yalanji Native Title Group; and
- discuss additional ancestors for whom more research is required.
This is an important decision making meeting and we encourage all Eastern Kuku Yalanji People to attend. Other than for the cross hachured area shown on the map above (the Endeavour River Disputed Area), the legal representatives of the CYU#1 Applicant will take instructions on the group and boundary descriptions for Eastern Kuku Yalanji by way of resolution. In accordance with the applicable Federal Court timetable, the group and boundary descriptions must be decided by Eastern Kuku Yalanji and provided to the State by 14 February 2024, and will not include any boundary description for, or apical ancestors solely associated with, the Endeavour River Disputed Area. A further meeting of the Eastern Kuku Yalanji Native Title Group to consider the boundary of Eastern Kuku Yalanji Country within the Endeavour River Disputed Area is planned for Monday 11 November 2024. A separate notice will be given for that meeting.
