Wajarri Yamatji Part F Determination

The Wajarri Yamatji people are celebrating Part F of their Native Title Determination.

His Honour Justice Murphy, of the Federal Court of Australia, handed down the determination held on Southern Yamatji Country at the Geraldton Surf Life Saving Club on Thursday 13 February. This is the sixth and final native title determination for the Wajarri Yamatji people, resolving all their claims.

YMAC is proud to have worked with the Wajarri Yamatji people to provide legal advice and other support for this and previous claims.

The day’s proceedings ended with cultural dancing from Wajarri Yamatji people and time shared together over lunch.

Country is our mother, the provider and keeper of cultural belongings. Country and Culture go together. You can’t have one without the other.

Yamatji Marlpa Aboriginal Corporation respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners and custodians throughout Western Australia, and on whose Country we work. We acknowledge and respect their deep connection to their lands and waterways.

We honour and pay respect to Elders, and to their ancestors who survived and cared for Country.

Our offices are located on Whadjuk Country, Southern Yamatji Country, Yinggarda Country, Kariyarra Country, and Yawuru Country. We recognise the continuing culture, traditions, stories and living cultures on these lands and commit to building a brighter future together.
