Why the Northern Territory Government needs to support outstations/homelands in the Aboriginal, Northern Territory and national interest. This paper argues for an innovative outstation/homeland policy which solves the problem of government service delivery of Indigenous Australians’ citizenship entitlements – so that it provides a choice for Indigenous Australians where they want to live and how they want to engage nationally and internationally in social, cultural and economic life. It includes discussion of outstation/homeland schools, or Homeland Learning Centres (HLCs) which have shown successful outcomes. [edna]
