The Burrabalayji Thalanyji Aboriginal Corporation (BTAC) is the registered native title body corporate for the Thalanyji People. Their primary purpose is to represent, protect and support the interests of the Thalanyji People.
BTAC was formed in 2008, after the Thalanyji People received native title determination over 11,120 square kilometres of land in and around the Onslow Western Australia. This determination was made on 18 September 2009, where North J made a positive native title consent determination in respect of certain lands in north Western Australia. The majority of the area is comprised of thirteen pastoral leases. The remainder of the claim area consisted of primarily unallocated Crown land.
BTAC, with the Thalanyji Advisory Council, ward towards a vision:
“We dream of a future where our identity remains strong, we are increasingly self-reliant and in charge of our own destiny, and we can lead secure and comfortable lives”.
