	Description:		Indigenous communities are calling on governments to find better ways of using mining royalties to close the gap. Many Aboriginal leaders had hoped that regaining land rights would improve community living conditions, and they're now sad to see cash royalties in some cases exacerbating social damage. In the Northern Territory, $3.2 billion has been collected in royalties over the last 40 years. So why hasn't this lifted people out of poverty? And is there a better way to manage all this money which traditional owners, governments and land councils could agree on?
