We support Native Title claims to the Blue Mountains area, as we do for all of Australia. We believe that Aboriginal people are acting in good faith in making their claims and point to the success of negotiated settlements of Native Title claims as examples of how a working partnership between traditional owners and non indigenous Australians can succeed.

We also believe that there is still much to be learnt about our relationship to the land from indigenous approaches and that this fits well with a more spiritual approach to ecological thinking.
