The Kariyarra people celebrated the recognition of their determination of native title by the Federal Court on 13 December 2018.
About 140 people attended the on-Country Court hearing at the Civic Gardens in Port Hedland. It has been a 20 year-long journey for the Kariyarra people to achieving native title recognition.
