About The Organisation

The PKKP Aboriginal Corporation administers the traditional lands and waters of the Puutu Kunti Kurrama people and the Pinikura people on their behalf.

These lands and waters cover approximately 10,888 square kilometres of Western Australia’s Pilbara region, between Onslow and Tom Price.

The rights and interests of the Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura peoples to these lands and waters were recognised in the #1 and #2 v State of Western Australia decision, on 2 September 2015.

The applicants were two separate but related language groups speaking for their own country, as well as a shared area. While these two groups are distinct and unique, they also observe common laws and customs that facilitate the protection and sharing of resources.

Following the determination, the traditional owners were required to nominate a prescribed body corporate to hold the native title in trust within six months, and the PKKP Aboriginal Corporation was nominated on 22 January 2016.

The Objectives of PKKPAC is to:
• hold Native Title on trust for the benefit of the PKKP People, perform the functions of a Prescribed Body Corporate and to manage the Native Title rights and interests of the PKKP People;

• implement other agreements as the PKKP People may request from time to time;
• provide direct relief from poverty, sickness, suffering, misfortune, disability, destitution, and disadvantage to the PKKP People;
• maintain, protect, promote and advance the lore, culture, native title, traditions and customs of the PKKP People;
• promote, develop, improve and advance the skills, capabilities, knowledge, and commercial achievements of the PKKP People;
• promote, develop, improve and advance the education, health and wellbeing of the PKKP People;
• act in the best interests of the PKKP People;
• hold title to any Vested Land; and
• to apply for funds including PKKP People trust funds to fulfil these objectives.
