In Canada and the United States, swathes of lands were "reservated" for the use of the Natives, lands they were able to administrate more or less autonomously; in the neighbouring French New Caledonia, the Kanaks are organised in chefferies and grandes-chefferies ruling terres coutumières and under their native civil law.
I would like to know why such reservations - swathes of land held by an Aboriginal tribe - have never been established in Australia. Was it because of the terra nullius doctrine held until 1992 and summarised twenty years earlier?
