About: ATNS is a one of a kind resource, aiming to empower Traditional Owners through information. Recently re-developed in a partnership between the University of Melbourne (UoM) and the National Native Title Council (NNTC), ATNS is an information gateway, capturing the range and variety of agreement making with First Nations peoples in Australia and other parts of the world. Its purpose is to encourage transparency and knowledge around agreement making, with a focus on nation building, First Nations governance and treaty. The panel will then explore how data, research and knowledge contribute to nation building and treaty processes.
