The 2022 AIATSIS Summit was convened in partnership with Queensland South Native Title Services (QSNTS) and was hosted by the Kabi Kabi peoples on their traditional Country on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland.

Navigating the spaces in between is this year's theme and foregrounds the brilliance and value of Indigenous ways of knowing and seeing the world.

The annual AIATSIS Summit provides a unique forum for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, academics, native title stakeholders, legal experts, community and cultural sectors and government to collaborate in addressing current and future challenges. As well, it offers opportunities to support and strengthen Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, knowledge and governance.

Queensland South Native Title Services supports Traditional Owners by providing native title services as prescribed by the Native Title Act, enhancing the capability of Traditional Owners to attain self-determination through the exercise of native title rights and interests, while advocating for reform and improvement of the native title system.

This event has now concluded.

Themes

Navigating the spaces in between

This year’s theme foregrounds the brilliance and value of Indigenous ways of knowing, seeing and being in the world.

The Summit provides the opportunity to bring things from the periphery into focus, recognising that in these spaces in between there are opportunities for innovation, but also risks and complexity. It invites radical creativity – ‘burning boundaries’ and re-imagining our future. The theme speaks of the importance of relationships and connections, of bonds of trust and reciprocity; it suggests a focus on a journey and destination but also requires us to reflect on where we have come from.
