The Argyle Diamond Mine Participation Agreement (the Argyle Agreement) is a registered Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA) between Traditional Owners of the East Kimberley region of Western Australia, the Kimberley Land Council and Argyle Diamond Mine (
Argyle Diamonds).

In 2001,
Argyle Diamonds and the traditional owners came to the table to renegotiate and renew the relationship between the traditional owners and the mining company.
According to meeting participants, many of the early meetings had no formal agenda and
Argyle Diamonds personnel made a point of listening to the traditional owners and apologising for the past.
Argyle Diamonds endeavoured to redress the imbalance by ensuring that communication was tailored to the needs of the traditional owners.
The traditional owners also recognised that representatives of
Argyle Diamonds required interpretations of the traditional processes of agreement - making and traditional law of the region.
The ILUA negotiations were conducted by two committees: the traditional owners and
Argyle Diamonds.
