Introduction
In this lesson and throughout this unit we will be discussing and exploring the struggle for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to gain recognition and entitlement to land. The British authorities believed they were legally entitled to occupy the land. Later most immigrants believed that they were legitimate settlers in a new land. To the Aboriginal people, however, this was their land. Where they had once lived under their own rule they were now forced to accept the laws of the newcomers.
