This paper, published by ARDS in 1995 for the NT Government Office of Aboriginal Development, looks at the Northern Territory's move towards becoming a state, and how best to incorporate Yolŋu (Yolngu) traditional law and needs in setting up a constitution for a possible new state. In doing so, this report gives an interesting insight into traditional law and governance, which will be of value for legal workers and government officials.
