In October 2014, the CNTA ran a two-day workshop in Cairns with staff from Cape York Land Council and North Queensland Land Council. Presenters included two anthropologists well-known for their experience in the Cape: Professor Peter Sutton and Dr David Martin, as well as Dr Kevin Murphy, Dr Paul Burke, Dr Richard Martin and CNTA regulars Professor Nic Peterson and Dr Cameo Dalley. Well known Qld Barrister Ms Helen Bowskill, also gave a presentation on the role of experts in native title.

The workshop was titled 'From law to society and succession: Native Title in the Cape York and North Queensland regions' and was well frequented by legal staff as well as anthropologists. In total 21 attendees and participants attended. Attendees commented on the utility of anthropologists and lawyers attending such events together, promoting better understandings of one anthother's role in the nateive title process.
