Editing Native title in Australia (section)

==Native title determinations==
The National Native Title Register (NNTR), maintained by the NNTT, is a [[land registration|register]] of approved native title determinations. A determination can be that native title does or does not exist. As part of the determination of native title, native title groups are required to nominate a [[Native Title Prescribed Body Corporate]] to hold (as trustee) or manage (as agent) their native title. Following a determination, Prescribed Bodies Corporate are entered onto the NNTR. At this point, the corporation becomes a Registered Native Title Body Corporate (RNTBC).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://aiatsis.gov.au/research-and-guides/prescribed-bodies-corporate |title=Native Title Corporations: Prescribed Bodies Corporate|publisher=Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Studies |access-date=28 January 2011}}</ref>
