This area in Northeast Arnhem Land has belonged to Yolngu Aboriginal people for over 40,000 years. I don't think this is NPOV. In pre-colonial Australia, land wasn't something that could be owned. I think 'has been occupied by ' is more correct, or better still the passive voice could be eliminated altogether. Grassynoel ( talk) 08:09, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
I think that "home to" is better than "belonged to" but that "has been the homeland" would be better still, as it gives a better sense that while the land was 'owned' their use/life with the land was exclusive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeditor86 ( talk • contribs) 03:31, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
