Next month will be the first anniversary of the signing of the Noongar Boodja Trust deed.
As we head into a very busy second year, we’re marking this milestone with a series of sketch videos to help explain the most important aspects of the South West Native Title Settlement.
Our first video tells the story of the Noongar people's fight to have their native title rights recognised in the south west of WA, which resulted in the South West Native Title Settlement. This Settlement formally recognises that, since time immemorial, the Noongar people have maintained a living cultural, spiritual, familial and social relationship with Noongar boodja.

All our Noongar people stand here on Noongar land. Past, present and future.
We stand strong on our land.
The mungart tree symbolises our strength and survival. All of our people stand firm on our land.
Our people are here to stay — we will always be.
