The Barda Bana people have native title over their traditional lands, which covers approximately 3229 square kilometres and are bound between the Connors Range in east, Middlemount in the south, Peak Ranges in the West and Lake Elphingstone in the North. 

On 29 June 2016, the Federal Court of Australia dealt with proceedings arising of two applications that native title exists, between the Barada Barna People and the Widi People, in the same area. Both parties reached an agreement, and the Court accepted that agreement in 2016. The Barada Barna people have non-exclusive rights in the determination area.

The Barada Barna Aboriginal Corporation RNTBC aim to provide maintenance and support of Country, traditions, lore, language and culture. Additionally, they provide economic, social and cultural benefits to the Barada Barna People.
