The Anindilyakwa Land Council (ALC) is a land council that represents the Anindilyakwa people of the Groote Archipelago in the Top End of the Northern Territory of Australia. It is one of four land councils in the Northern Territory.[1] The head office is located in Alyangula.
Representing 14 clans of the archipelago, the council is a corporate commonwealth entity formed in 1991, enforced by the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976.[2][3] Under section 23(1) the ALC manages land and sacred sites in the interest of traditional owners, assists with economic development, offers consultation services, administers permits and preserves culture through management of intellectual property and copyright.[4]
The region is known for its significant deposits of manganese.[5]
