The Latji Latji, Ngintait and Nyeri Nyeri^[The Nyeri Nyeri people are also called Jarijari, likewise Latji Latji is also spelled Ladji Ladji and Latje Latje, among other variants. Both these ethnonyms derive from the word for "no" in the respective languages; this is common for Native groups in or about the Murray River valley. Nyeri Nyeri and Ngintait are both extinct Lower Murray languages; Latji Latji is a moribund Kulinic language. Lower Murray and Kulinic are both branches of Pama-Nyungan, the language family that some three-fourths of all Indigenous Australian languages belong to.] peoples celebrated the end of a decades-long fight on Friday with a Federal Court ruling that their application for native title, formally lodged in 2015, was valid.

The determination covers an area which includes Mildura^[Mildura is located on the south bank of the Murray River, Australia's longest river, which forms the border between Victoria and New South Wales. I.e. this native title land is the northern tip of Victoria. The city of Mildura is recognized as the center of the "Sunraysia" region, which is Australia's most prominent region for viticulture and second-most-prominent region for citrus farming. The name Mildura believably comes from the Latji Latji language and may mean "red earth". Prior to being the name of a city, Mildura was the name of a sheep station. The Murray River itself is called "MiUoo" or "Millieu" in Latji Latji, though these appear to be anglicized spellings. This matches with the river's name in many other local Indigenous languages and evidently just means "water"; Wemba Wemba mali is the etymon of the Mallee region, which significantly overlaps with the native title lands in question.] and stretches to the South Australian border.

The ruling, the first of its kind in the state, grants the Traditional Owner groups non-exclusive rights, including the right to access the land, use its resources, and protect sites, objects and places of cultural and spiritual significance.
