[edit] "Belonged to"

This area in Northeast Arnhem Land has belonged to Yolngu Aboriginal people for over 40,000 years. I don't think this is NPOV. In pre-colonial Australia, land wasn't something that could be owned. I think 'has been occupied by ' is more correct, or better still the passive voice could be eliminated altogether. Grassynoel (talk) 08:09, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
