Originally, the Adnyamathanha people made two claims. The Adnyamathanha No 1 claim related to a substantial area of South Australia, from the eastern boundary of Lake Torrens almost to the New South Wales border. The Adnyamathanha No 2 claim related to the area of the Flinders Ranges National Park.

On 30 March 2009, the Court made three consent determinations recognising the rights and interests of the Adnyamathanha People covering 41,085sq km of land in and around the Flinders Ranges. The determinations give the Adnyamathanha People non-exclusive rights including access for ceremonial or cultural activities, hunting and camping. 

The first related to an area of the Angepena Pastoral Lease, the second relating to a much larger area within the Adnyamathanha No 1 Claim, and the third comprised of the whole of the Flinders Ranges National Park, which was the subject of the Adnyamathanha No 2 Claim. 

An Indigenous land use agreement (ILUA) for the co-management of the Flinders Ranges National Park has also been finalised. The agreement reflects the Vulkathunha-Gammon Ranges National Park agreement, registered in 2006.

In 2014, the Court made two further consent determinations in relation to additional areas within the area of the Adnyamathanha No 1 Claim. One of the proposed determinations related to an area that the Dieri People also made a claim for native title. To resolve this, the Court gave effect to an agreement between the Adnyamathanha, the Dieri and the State of South Australia; the Adnyamathanha people's rights and interests were recognised in the eastern portion of the overlapping area. 

In 2015, Mansfield J made a consent determination concerning the Adnyamathanha No 3 Native Title Claim in relation to areas excluded from the original Adnyamathanha No 1 and No 2 claims. The Adnyamathanha No 3 Claim regarded areas including the township of Hookina and some area of the Hundred of Barndioota.

Traditional owners in South Australia's north have complained about work starting on two major projects despite heritage assessments showing the areas are scattered with artefacts.

The projects — drilling by a mining exploration company and a high-tech battery — are on the traditional lands of the Kuyani and Adnyamathanha people in the western Flinders Ranges.

Traditional owners of the Flinders and Gammon ranges have been handed rights over 41,000 square kilometres of land in the state's biggest ever native title claim.
