They have a special relationship with land, imbued with spirituality and sacredness. It forms a footing for their social, economic, cultural structure and system. They often perceive it as something transmitted to them through birthright. However, ultra modern humanity has been a major threat to their rights. Their traditional subsistence, land management and medicinal practices have been affected. They have had to dump their nomadic life and progress to modern life. Their land rights have become a thorny issue. This is a study to investigate whether restorative justice can act as an alternative mechanism to resolve their land grievances.
