| | Indeed, while it is not expressed in such explicit terms in the legislation, it still is expected that a group wanting to demonstrate a Native Title needs to conform to a pre-conceived definition of kinship that relies on ties of blood, and blood only. | | | Of course, those who are reared up together do not have to be what Euro-American culture calls blood relatives. | | | David Schneider as well as Rodney Needham claimed that kinship does not exist as such in other cultures than Euro-American societies, that it was an "invention" based on Euro-American understandings of relatedness. |
