In this paper I explore the kincentric ecologies that define sea country for Indigenous Australians, in particular the Yanyuwa of Northern Australia. Despite colonial alienation from their coastal territories, Yanyuwa have sustained a four-decade long legal fight for restitution. Using the framework of 'urgent patience' as resistance against 'social death', this paper tracks the historical legacy of legislative land rights for saltwater peoples
