The book focuses on the Aboriginal system of land tenure in the northeast of Arnhem Land, Australia. Yolngu land tenure is a system based on rational economic principles while deriving its validity and moral force from a rich religious mythology. The book is a contribution to the ethnography of Australian Aborigines, to comparative hunter-gatherer studies, to the analysis of systems of land tenure, and to the history of ideas about property.
