ABC News Sun, 19 Mar 2000 12:35 AEDT LOCAL NEWS : Coffs Harbour / Kempsey Land returned to traditional owners The mid-north coast's Aboriginal community is being handed back 100 hectares of land. The property, known as Toms Gully, about 40 kilometres west of Kempsey, was bought by the Indigenous Land Corporation - a statutory body set up to help Aboriginal people acquire land. Betty Cohen from the local Aboriginal community says today is an important day. "Well, I think it's very important for us because we've been deprived of our land, we had it taken from us by Europeans and to get back our own land is very important for us." © 2000 Australian Broadcasting Corporation -- _________________________________ Truth is a pathless land. --- Krishnamurti ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- RecOzNet2 has a page @ http://www.green.net.au/recoznet2 and is archived at http://www.mail-archive.com/ To unsubscribe from this list, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED], and in the body of the message, include the words: unsubscribe announce or click here mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=unsubscribe%20announce This posting is provided to the individual members of this group without permission from the copyright owner for purposes of criticism, comment, scholarship and research under the "fair use" provisions of the Federal copyright laws and it may not be distributed further without permission of the copyright owner, except for "fair use."
