The Minang/Menang Noongar peoples were recognized as the traditional owners of Albany as part of an Aboriginal Accord (signed in 2003) that committed to reconciling the Indigenous community with the non-Indigenous community.

This accord promises to educate around the loss and devastation suffered by the Aboriginal community at the hands of the first European settlers to the area, as well as recognize the spiritual and cultural connection the Minang/Menang Noongar peoples have to both land and sea.
