Didn't have a written language, either. Every single thing we're told is an abo word is derived through generations of Chinese whispers.
Also not sure how nomadic tribes 'owned' any land. Good thing Australian law is bent in their favour, so they can make those claims without ever having to provide proof.
Can't wait for the 'voice' to just get ploughed through the senate and we can all start paying them rent (abo tax, I've decided it should be called).
The funniest thing about the "never been ceded" part, particularily by the government, is they're basically saying "yeah, we believe this is your land, and it was taken from you unfairly, and it should be given back but...nah"
Don't make up words.
Also, because it’s literally a conlang, they don’t have proper nouns (or any capital letters whatsoever, lol)…
Which makes road signage (now often “bilingual”) look pretty fucking bizarre, tbh…

Or they 'return' land to them but should valuable minerals be discovered there, all bets are off.
