Aboriginal Self-Determination in Australia represents the proceedings of a conference celebrating the International Year for the World's Indigenous Peoples, held in Townsville, Queensland, in 1993. Coinciding with the height of native title debates, many speakers discussed and analysed the possible effects of, and opportunities arising from, the Australian High Court's decision.
