ABSTRACT
You see, the land is not only to cultivate. The land is also for you to be cultivated in as a person. This is why, when the land is in the hands of others, you are only a tool.1 For Aboriginal people, land is not only our mother - the source of our identity and our spirituality - it is also the context for our human order and inquiry.2 Well, I talk about the land. We all have symbols for land. And I don't own the land, but the land owns me. That is the strong thing in Aborigine law and culture. It's about the land. I'm only a servant, we all Aborigines are servants, we serve nature. That's why it's so important for us, because the land owns us.3
