Native title is the set of rights, recognised by Australian law, held by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander groups or individuals to land that derive from their maintenance of their traditional laws and customs. These Aboriginal title rights were first recognised as a part of Australian common law with the decision of ''Mabo v Queensland (No 2)'' in 1992. The doctrine was subsequently implemented and modified via statute with the ''Native Title Act 1993''.
