Description: In this paper, I examine the impact of colonisation on Aboriginal people's conceptualisation of Indigenous land tenure systems of the Darwin region. For the purposes of this paper, I define the Darwin region as that area bounded roughly by Gunbalanya (Oenpelli), Pine Creek, and Wadeye. Again somewhat roughly, the effects of colonisation within these bounds were much greater than outside these bounds. The only exception is the area southwards from Pine Creek extending to Katherine, where the effects of colonisation were equally significant. However, Katherine has always constituted a distinct regional centre, in some degree of opposition to Darwin, and consequently I exclude it.
