Recognizing historical context and linking it to the foundational principle that rights-based advocacy is essential to the survival of Indigenous Peoples is the primary democratic means of reconciling the injustices historically and continuously exacted on Indigenous Peoples. As Martin Luther King Jr. so aptly taught: Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. Larissa Behrendt seized upon this [*213] principle and gave it practical meaning for Indigenous Peoples when she stated:
By failing to recognize Indigenous ownership and presence, Indigenous property rights are relegated to the status of a hand-out. Native Title is not seen as a property right descended from prior occupation but a welfare measure: Indigenous peoples, when a legitimate property right is recognized, are seen as getting something for nothing.
Due to these perceptions, Indigenous rights are vulnerable, treated differently, and given less protection than their non-Indigenous equivalents.10
