Abstract:

This article is a book review of Michael Belgrave, Merata Kawharu and David Williams (eds) Waitangi Revisited: Perspectives on the Treaty of Waitangi (Oxford University Press, Melbourne, 2005) (402 + xxi pages) NZ$65. The book looks at issues surrounding the Treaty of Waitangi 16 years after the publication of "Waitangi: Māori and Pākehā Perspectives of the Treaty of Waitangi". Although it can be difficult to find cogent and lucid expressions of contrary opinions on Treaty issues, Northover states that the book's attempts to provide different ideological perspectives are relatively successful. Other pieces are more akin to case studies, illustrating wider schemes and issues of significance. It is concluded that the book deserves to be read by a wide audience, and that the contributions in the collection reflect Treaty issues that remain (and will remain) prominent.

Abstract:

Between 1894 and 1896 the Crown conducted negotiations with Tūhoe which culminated in the 1895 Urewera Agreement and the Urewera District Native Reserve Act 1896. This article considers the constitutional implications of these negotiations and the resulting agreement and legislation. Adopting a 'multi-textual' conception of New Zealand legal history, and paying heed to the fact that Tūhoe did not sign the Treaty of Waitangi, the article argues that the Crown-Tūhoe relationship should be grounded predominantly in the 1895–1896 Agreement rather than the Treaty of Waitangi. In making this argument the article critiques the Waitangi Tribunal’s approach to these particular points in the first two pre-publications of its Te Urewera Report. The article argues that in finding that the Crown-Tūhoe negotiations and agreement signalled the beginning of a relationship based upon the Treaty of Waitangi, the Waitangi Tribunal erred in its approach.

Abstract:

This article provides an overview of Māori recognition in statutes and the political sphere, and affirms the Treaty of Waitangi's status as a partnership between the indigenous Māori and the Crown rather than a document that puts Māori on the sidelines. The Treaty of Waitangi has a critical part to play in defining the relationship between the Māori and the Crown. It is therefore argued that the challenge is not whether indigeneity should be recognised at all, but rather how to recognise indigeneity while treating all citizens fairly. The author concludes that the Crown must recognise the Treaty relationship, indigeneity, and citizenship in statutes, policies, state programmes and other measures and indicators.

Abstract:

The 6th of February is New Zealand's annual day of cultural performance par excellence. It is not a rememberance and reflection of what is undoubtedly this country's most important historical moment, but instead an enactment of contemporary understandings of the Treaty of Waitangi by both Māori and the Crown. Architecturally this performance is played out at, and between, Te Tii marae and the Treaty grounds at Waitangi. The partnership between Māori and the Crown is spatially expressed each year by symbolically important rituals being conducted and protocols observed at each specific site. People gather, welcomes occur, addresses are given, entertainment provided, bridges crossed, debates take place, demands are made, and protests held. The actions of the various parties are frequently beamed into households by the television networks and reported in the national newspapers, leading to a national construction of space that represents current perceptions of cultural and race relations. The 1980s saw a significant shift in the construction of Waitangi as space. Following the rise of the land rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s, Māori activists focussed their efforts on Waitangi and Waitangi Day more than ever before. The government responded by denying access to the Treaty grounds, then retreating from Waitangi celebrations, and then eventually returning by the end of the decade. Waitangi as space became a pawn in a political contest, and its place in the national psyche moved with each action and counter-action.

Full text

Abstract:

The tikanga Māori concept, tuku, in te Tiriti o Waitangi’s reo Māori text warrants focus in Tiriti interpretation. This article reviews the place of tuku in te Tiriti and considers how applied, tikanga-centred study of this concept contributes to a tikanga Māori perspective on the proper relationality of that treaty’s parties. Studying, as sources of principle, tuku in two treaty-applicable customary contexts – the wall panel weaving technique, tukutuku (an alliance between two workers) and the socio-political alliances of tuku whenua – shows ways in which both the text of te Tiriti and well-settled ‘principles of the Treaty of Waitangi’ align with these tuku, and thus tikanga. Not only has this explanatory value with respect to te Tiriti o Waitangi principles; it yields insights both relationally and constitutionally. In tuku, the Tiriti relationship has tikanga-consistent foundations; it is anchored already in a tikanga paradigm. However, whereas framing presently predominantly focuses on parties’ ‘partnership’, this is an insufficient account. Another conception of treaty relations lies in tukutuku panel making, an alliance which depends on a reciprocal connection, works toward a woven construction, and is grounded in a kinship metaphor.

Abstract:

This article addresses some duties that arise under Te Tiriti o Waitangi/the Treaty of Waitangi that are commonly referred to as "Treaty principles", and applies them to the new issue of protection of Māori interests in the face of coastal hazards associated with sea-level rise. It summarises the Māori interests likely to be affected by sea-level rise and related coastal hazards, and some adaptation measures. It summarises existing information on Crown duties under the Treaty of Waitangi with some comment on their application to local authorities. This includes a summary of the Treaty duties of the Crown (held by central government) and an explanation of how they are enforced. It outlines the Waitangi Tribunal decision on the MV Rena as an illustration of duties relevant to the handling of a disaster that damaged the coastal environment. It then discusses climate adaptation initiatives in the light of Treaty obligations, suggesting what Treaty principles might require of decision-makers and decision-making on climate adaptation measures under current law. While the focus of this article is limited to what existing law on the Treaty principles might require of government, it also briefly addresses recent developments that might expand legal obligations in the future. While this article stems from a project addressing adaptation to coastal hazards from sea-level rise, these findings and principles will be relevant to all climate adaptation decision-making, such as in relation to handling future floods and droughts.

Abstract:

On 23 September 1992, the Crown and Maori representatives signed a deed in full and final settlement of Maori claims to fishing rights under the Treaty of Waitangi. This article asks whether the "Sealord deal", as it has come to be called, is in accordance with the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi, as these have been developed by the courts and the Waitangi Tribunal; and concludes that the deal represents only a pragmatic response to Maori needs and the opportunities at hand. The Sealord deal failed to confront the issues that must be addressed if legitimate and lasting Treaty claims settlements are to be made in New Zealand. This article incorporates events up to 1 September 1993. Key developments since that time and up to June 1994 are briefly summarised in the appendix.

Abstract:

This paper looks at administrative review of the negotiation and settlement process for Treaty of Waitangi historical claims. The foundation is an analysis of the current treatment of these claims within the political arena, the Waitangi Tribunal and the courts. This includes a detailed analysis of the effectiveness of political and Waitangi Tribunal responses, and a hard look at the validity of the courts' continued stance that Treaty settlement cases are non-justiciable.Due to the non-binding nature of its recommendations, the effectiveness of the Waitangi Tribunal depends largely on the existence of political buy-in from the Executive and political branches of government. Analysis of the evidence illustrates that this buy-in is lacking. Despite the intensity of Waitangi Tribunal scrutiny in this area, very few meaningful outcomes are being achieved. Finally, the discussion of the courts' response to Treaty settlement claims looks closely at the concept of non-justiciability and the courts' continued application of broad precedents without meaningful analysis. This paper argues that a thorough understanding of the cases brought before the courts illuminates differences between those precedents being applied and the cases now being heard. Declaring a case non-justiciable has serious consequences and should not be done lightly.

Abstract:

The Board of the New Zealand Institute of Advanced Legal Studies held a Conference on 9 and 10 February 1995 on the subject of "Treaty Claims: The Unfinished Business". This issue of the Victoria University of Wellington Law Review presents papers from this Conference. In introducing the issue, Wilson identifies four major themes emerging from the discussion. First, in considering Treaty of Waitangi issues, there is a tendency for Māori and non-Māori to talk past each other rather than to each other. Secondly, the "fiscal envelope" contained in the Crown's proposals is likely to be of very limited practical significance because all avenues for the resolution of Treaty claims will remain open, whatever the fate of the envelope. Thirdly, while the resolution of Treaty claims must be on an Iwi basis, full regard must be had to the position of all Māori in the application of the proceeds of settlements. Finally, New Zealand must consider new structures which recognise the position of Māori.

This article is a book review of Richard Dawson's The Treaty of Waitangi and the Control of Language. In his book, Dawson argued that there was a Crown monopoly over the language of the Treaty. Therefore, Dawson called for a balanced dialogue between the Crown and Māori. However, Opie argues that such a binary description of power is problematic and instead adopts Michel Foucault's bottom-up description of power which allows for a more nuanced view of the respective identities of the Crown and Māori.

Abstract:

The question of the continuing significance of the Treaty of Waitangi is one to which neither legal practice nor scholarship has offered a definitive answer. The question is often regarded as less legal than political; a question of intercultural justice to be contested in the political realm. From within the law, however, the suggestion that the Treaty ought to be reassessed in light of modern circumstances was revived in 2005 when Jeremy Waldron, then University Professor at Columbia University, offered the international law doctrine of rebus sic stantibus as a possible tool for analysis. This article responds to Professor Waldron's suggestion that the Treaty might be considered overridden by a fundamental change in political circumstances. It first argues that the structuring logic which Professor Waldron advocates is a misreading of the "signpost" which international law offers towards the role of treaties in problems of intercultural justice. The article then presents a comparative assessment of United States practice relating to treaties, before examining tikanga Māori to consider how its core values might offer guidance on the continuing relevance of the Treaty. Finally, the article looks to contributions from political philosophy relating to the political morality of Treaty-based intercultural justice.

Abstract:

This article is the text of the address provided by Douglas Graham, then-MP and Minister in Charge of Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations, at the "Treaty Claims: The Unfinished Business" Conference. The Minister's address was by way of general remarks as opposed to a prepared address. Graham makes four points on what he believes the unfinished businesses are, or what New Zealand must do, in light of the Conference topic. First, there is a need to reconcile the rights and obligations that exist under the Treaty of Waitangi by the Crown and Māori. Secondly, there is a need to give more emphasis to policies to ensure the development and the protection and preservation of the Māori culture. Thirdly, the legal status of the Treaty must be considered. Fourthly, the issue of Māori self-determination and sovereignty must be addressed. The author concludes that both the Crown and Māori were making positive developments in Treaty negotiations.

Full text

Abstract:

In 2008, I lodged a claim with the Waitangi Tribunal in regard to problem gambling and its negative impacts on Māori people. The Tribunal is tasked with hearing grievances related to Te Tiriti o Waitangi (The Treaty of Waitangi) signed in 1840 between Māori and the British Crown. It is a historical claim focused on the lack of adequate protection of taiohi Māori (young people of Māori descent) and the intergenerational harm caused by problem gambling among their whānau, hapū, iwi (extended families and relatives) and urban Māori communities. However, this begs the question how can a Treaty claim improve the health outcomes of a generation of taiohi Māori who have been exposed to commercial gambling and its aggressive and targeted expansion and marketing? This paper frames the WAI-1909 claim as a Kaupapa Māori (Māori research approach) derived from the research of three wahine toa (warrior women) supporting the claim; and refers to epistemological standpoints of Māori women working in the gambling research space. I demonstrate how the gambling claim challenges the New Zealand government to honour the promises in the articles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and to protect the rights of its citizens, especially taiohi Māori. The WAI-1909 gambling claim concludes that whilst the New Zealand Gambling Act (2003) includes a public health approach to problem gambling, it has not adequately addressed the rights of tangata whenua (Māori, the first people of Aotearoa/New Zealand) under Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

Abstract:

Abstract This paper discusses the historical background and significance of the two most important national holidays in New Zealand: Waitangi Day and Anzac Day. Waitangi Day is celebrated on the 6th February and it commemorates the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi between British representatives and a number of Māori chiefs in 1840. Following the signing of the treaty New Zealand became effectively a British colony. Anzac Day is celebrated on 25th April, i.e., on the anniversary of the landing of soldiers of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) on the Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey in 1915, during World War One. There are three major differences between these two holidays: the process of those days becoming national holidays, the level of contestation, and the changing messages they have carried. The present study analyzes the national discourse around Anzac Day and Waitangi Day in New Zealand, and attempts to reveal how the official New Zealand government rhetoric about national unity becomes deconstructed. The following analysis is based on a selection of online articles from the New Zealand Herald and Stuff published in Auckland and Wellington, respectively. Both cities are populated by multi-ethnic groups, with Auckland featuring the largest Māori population.

Abstract:

One of the most elaborate systems of investigation into any nation’s colonial past is New Zealand’s Waitangi Tribunal, first set up in 1975, and which has now issued over 100 major reports on all aspects of the history of Maori interaction with the colonial state. The Waitangi Tribunal also exemplifies some particular features of the legal history of the Treaty of Waitangi, which in New Zealand has become seen as semi-constitutional text which forms an internal standard for legal investigations and for negotiation of redress. Current developments in New Zealand are highly consistent with long-established state practice, where relationships between the state and Maori have always been a matter of legal and political importance. Although the Waitangi Tribunal has some features in common with truth commissions in other countries, in many ways it is quite different from them.

Abstract:

It is more than obvious to say that the signing of the Treaty was the big event of the 1840s. The initial Treaty signing at Waitangi on 6 February 1840 by Lieutenant-Governor William Hobson, representing the British Crown, and "about 45 Maori chiefs" has become a defining moment in New Zealand's history, but, as Smith notes, [o]nly recently has the Treaty of Waitangi become central to national life ... Hastily devised at the time, the treaty sheets have become a national monument: they mean different things to different groups but have had an evolving official interpretation placed upon them. The Treaty "is the basis of the Crown's authority and legitimised European settlement in New Zealand," but important differences between the English version and the Māori version (which most Māori signed) include differences in the translations of article one (the cession of sovereignty vs "te kāwanatanga katoa" (governorship)), and silence in the te reo Māori text "on the Crown right of pre-emption. It promised the Queen "hokonga" - the buying and selling of land that Maori were willing to part with - but not exclusively, nor even as the highest priority.

Abstract:

This article considers research conducted on the impact of the Crown’s treaty claims settlement policy on Māori in New Zealand. It provides a brief background to the Treaty of Waitangi and the subsequent British colonisation process that relied on the Doctrine of Discovery in breach of the treaty. It outlines how colonisation dispossessed Māori of 95 percent of their lands and resources, usurped Māori power and authority and left them in a state of poverty, deprivation and marginalisation while procuring considerable wealth, prosperity and privilege for British settlers. The work of the Waitangi Tribunal, the commission of inquiry set up to investigate those breaches, is considered, as is the Crown’s reaction to the 1987 Lands case in developing its treaty claims settlement policy. The Crown unilaterally imposed the policy despite vehement opposition from Māori. Since 1992, it has legislated more than seventy ‘settlements’. The research shows that overall, the process has traumatised claimants, divided their communities, and returned on average less than one percent of their stolen lands. Proposals for constitutional transformation have drawn widespread support from Māori as a solution to British colonisation. United Nations treaty-monitoring bodies have recommended that the government discuss this with Māori.

Finally, the author also discusses Article III claims. The author concludes that the real unfinished business is less about settlement and more about giving the Treaty contemporary meaning.

In particular, the constitutional provisions presented in the Treaty of Waitangi are examined, and attention is focused on the contemporary problems of its current interpretation and application, although the historical context of its drafting and conclusion is shown. The article deals with the interpretation of some basic constitutional terms when using different official languages of New Zealand, first of all Maori and English tongues. In this regard, one of the urgent issues, which are being discussed quite widely in New Zealand, is the discrepancies found in the wording of fundamental constitutional provisions in the official texts of the Treaty of Waitangi in these two languages. The article examines a number of court decisions containing constitutionally significant precedents (stare decisis), including those on the application of the Treaty of Waitangi. The article shows how, as a result of the judicial complex interpretation of the Treaty of Waitangi and the legislation, the principles of the said Treaty have been developed. The article provides a general characterization of the laws and other regulatory legal acts that together form part of the unconsolidated Constitution of New Zealand. Special attention is paid to the 1986 Act of Constitution because of the importance of the constitutional issues regulated by this statute. The development of constitutional provisions in the 1986 Act of Constitution in comparison with the previous 1852 Act of Constitution is presented. At the same time, the laws, which are considered in New Zealand as an integral part of the Constitution, are summarized. The place and role of the laws of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in the modern Constitution of New Zealand are determined. Along with this, other regulatory legal acts that form part of the Constitution are being investigated, in particular, the Letters Patent and the Cabinet Manual. The article also presents New Zealand customs, which have constitutional significance, including conventional norms, and the peculiarities of their application.

Abstract:

The interaction of Maori law and the European based state law of New Zealand has given rise to much discussion and political debate. The contemporary focus has been primarily on the Treaty of Waitangi and the work of the Waitangi Tribunal. Public interest has been attracted by the property aspects of Treaty claims and by their justness, but there has been less public interest in the Maori cultural aspects of claims. In particular, the cultural importance of some claims has been masked by concerns about the resource value involved. This article seeks to redirect attention to an aspect of the Maori cultural meaning involved where claims concern taonga, and it suggests further that coherence of claims settlements may in some cases be advanced by reference to the concept of personality.

Abstract:

In 1840, some of the sovereign nations of Māori signed te Tiriti o Waitangi (the Māori language version of the Treaty of Waitangi) with the British Crown. Hone Heke was the first Māori leader of the northern nation of Ngāpuhi to sign, but by 1844 he was leading a significant revolt against British colonialism in Aotearoa New Zealand by chopping down British flagpoles erected on his lands. While Māori may have initially welcomed the intent of te Tiriti as a means for seeking British help to protect their international borders, the British prioritised the English version of the Treaty which recorded the transfer of sovereignty from Māori to the British. As the British transposed their dominant legal traditions of governance, including bringing to the fore their doctrine of parliamentary supremacy, Māori have been seeking their survival ever since. We extend this by focusing on why the doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty needs to adapt to the Treaty’s promise of bicultural power sharing.

Abstract:

Tikanga Māori is increasingly influencing the law of New Zealand, in every jurisdiction. The Environment Court is becoming more concerned with issues which necessitate knowledge of different tikanga Māori, matauranga Māori and Te Reo Māori. The following is a discussion on how tikanga affects the incorporation of Treaty of Waitangi and Māori concepts in the Resource Management Act 1991. It then moves to how and to what extent the Environment Court can consider relational and mana whenua issues. And lastly, Judge Doogan gives insights from a Māori Land Court, Waitangi Tribunal and Environment Court judge for practitioners on understanding tikanga issues and working with Māori collectives. Keywords: Environment Court; Māori Land Court; Waitangi Tribunal; Resource Management Act 1991; Lex Aotearoa; Te Reo; tikanga; mātauranga; mana whenua; procedure; advocacy.

Abstract:

The New Zealand state developed from a treaty between the British Crown and hapū (sub-tribes) in 1840. The te Reo (Māori language) text and the English version of the agreement are fundamentally different. Breaches of this treaty and tension over how the political relationship between Māori and the Crown should proceed are ongoing. In 2019, the Cabinet Office issued a Circular instructing bureaucratic advisers of the questions they should address when providing advice to ministers on the agreement’s contemporary application. In this article, we use Critical Tiriti Analysis (CTA) – an analytical framework applied to public policies – to suggest additional and alternative questions to inform bureaucratic advice. The article defines CTA in detail and shows how using it in this way could protect Māori rights to tino rangatiratanga (a sovereignty and authority that is not subservient to others) and substantive engagement, as citizens, in the formation of public policy. This article’s central argument is that the Circular reflects an important evolution in government policy thought. However, in showing how the Circular privileges the English version (the Treaty of Waitangi) over the Māori text (Te Tiriti o Waitangi), the article demonstrates how Māori political authority remains subservient to the Crown in ways that Te Tiriti did not intend. We show through the conceptual illustration of the care and protection of Māori children, despite the significant evolution in government thought that it represents, these rights are not fully protected by the Circular. This is significant because it was Te Tiriti, with its protection of extant Māori authority and sovereignty, that was signed by all but 39 of the more than 500 chiefs who agreed to the British Crown establishing government over their own people, but who did not agree to the colonial relationship which may be read into the English version.

Abstract:

There is a vast literature on the Treaty of Waitangi. However, a large number of constitutional issues such as who owes Treaty obligations and the nature and extent of these obligations are not clear. Instead, such issues are often obscured by the media sensationalising Treaty settlement processes, Maori fisheries, and Pakeha political assumptions about what Maori want. Amidst talk of fish, cash settlements and development, little Treaty jurisprudential thinking addresses the complex legal, cultural and economic issues surrounding local government and MÃ¡ori. It is the purpose of this article to expand Treaty jurisprudential thinking in the area of local government, and to advocate a direction for local government Treaty obligations.

Abstract:

This article argues that the cultural assimilation of Māori family forms, originating in colonial private family laws, continues under the Care of Children Act 2004 (COCA). It finds that the opportunity to draft a law that was respectful of tikanga Māori and te Tiriti o Waitangi was lost when legislators ignored all the critiques of the operating principles and processes of the Pākehā legal system, provided by Māori during the 1980s and 1990s. The article argues that cultural assimilation continues through court decisions, since COCA principles require priority to be given to parents, with a corresponding marginalisation of whānau, hapū and iwi. The article concludes that incremental reform would be unlikely to achieve legislation that is fit for a bicultural Aotearoa New Zealand. It advocates for a transformational Māori-led family law reform process, guided by te Tiriti o Waitangi/the Treaty of Waitangi and by tikanga Māori.

Abstract:

This article considers the perspectives of four contributors to the current discourse on the Treaty of Waitangi: Professor Jane Kelsey, Dr Paul McHugh, Professor F M Brookfield and Moana Jackson. The jurisprudential underpinnings of each authors arguments are examined. The article focuses on the degree to which two new forms of jurisprudential thought, Critical Legal Studies and Critical Race Theory, have informed the Treaty discourse. The article concludes that, although such critical jurisprudence has yet to permeate New Zealand jurisprudence in any meaningful way, Critical Race Theory could help transform post-settler legal thinking. This article was awarded the Quentin-Baxter LLM prize in Public and International Law in 1997.

Full text

Abstract:

This article analyses the Treaty of Waitangi in light of Carl Schmitt's concept of constituent power – the idea that in a democracy the people hold the power to make fundamental political decisions to determine their form of political existence. It finds that in 1840, Māori, as the holders of constituent power, made a fundamental political decision to share authority between themselves and the Crown. This fundamental political decision is a key element of the New Zealand constitution; limiting potential constitutional changes that would override the substance of the decision, and requiring changes to the current legal framework in order to comply with the decision to share authority. This article focuses solely on the conservative implications of characterising the Treaty as a fundamental political decision. It concludes that only a further exercise of constituent power by Māori can legitimately override or significantly change the fundamental political decision in the Treaty.

Full text

Abstract:

New Zealand includes a Treaty of Waitangi exception clause in all its free trade agreements. The clause aims to protect Māori interests arising from the government’s Treaty of Waitangi obligations. But despite changes to New Zealand’s trade agreements, an evolving relationship between the New Zealand government and Māori, and debate over the adequacy of the clause, the exception clause has remained unchanged for 20 years. We suggest that the reproduction the same text helps New Zealand negotiators to credibly argue that inclusion of the clause is required for domestic political reasons. Yet this textual stability also hinders innovation. At the international level, FTA partners might balk at any widening of policy discretion afforded by a revised clause. At the domestic level, revising the clause would require difficult debate over the extent of appropriate protections for Māori in New Zealand’s trade agreements. As calls to change the exception clause grow, New Zealand trade policymakers will need to carefully balance innovation and precedent.

Abstract:

Bicultural teaching practice in Aotearoa New Zealand is based on commitment to partnerships reflecting Te Tiriti o Waitangi/ The Treaty of Waitangi between Māori and non-Māori cultures, and is governed by professional standards and documents. I am a Pākehā (European ethnicity) early childhood teacher educator concerned about how effectively I engage in bicultural teaching practice. According to Michel Foucault’s theories, individuals’ self-understandings are shaped within discourses that frame their values and beliefs, and their thoughts and actions. This article reports on poststructural self-study research into my negotiations within three discourses of bicultural teacher education practice, as well as discourses of colonisation that continue to pervade Aotearoa New Zealand.

Abstract:

The Nagoya Protocol is a recent binding international instrument that articulates the need to recognise the rights of indigenous peoples regarding their biological resources and cultural knowledge and strengthens the mechanisms to do so. New Zealand has not signed this protocol because of the overriding importance of the Treaty of Waitangi in New Zealand’s domestic affairs, and the need to ensure that government options are not limited concerning the development of domestic policy on access to biological resources. In particular, policy makers and legislators are waiting for the government response to a 2011 Waitangi Tribunal report (Ko Aotearoa Tēnei) on a far-reaching and complex claim (WAI 262) concerning the place of Māori traditional knowledge, culture and identity in contemporary New Zealand law and government policies and practice. Especially pertinent to this paper is the report’s section on Māori rights relating to biological and genetic resources. In accordance with the recommendation within Ko Aotearoa Tēnei, the principle of partnership, built on the explicit Treaty premise of Crown and Māori as formal equals, is presented here as the overarching framework and mechanism by which government agencies and Māori can work together to safeguard such resources. Core concepts and values are elucidated that underpin the Māori relationship to indigenous flora and fauna and are integral to the protection of cultural knowledge of seeds and plants. Examples are given of plant species regarded as taonga (treasures) and how they are conserved, and a case study is presented of institutional stewardship of harakeke (New Zealand flax) weaving varieties. Seed bank facilities are also evaluated regarding their incorporation of Māori values and rights under the Treaty of Waitangi.

Abstract:

Moana Jackson provides a brief comment about Māori fisheries and rights at the "Treaty Claims: The Unfinished Business" Conference as part of this special issue of the Victoria University of Wellington Law Review. He argues that there has been a tendency to drown the Treaty of Waitangi in the rhetoric of the law, having been emasculated of its political underpinnings. Jackson notes that the rights bestowed by the Treaty are meaningless without the political authority, whether it is recognised as self-determination or sovereignty. The author concludes that the Treaty is not an illusion of political authority, but rather a reaffirmation of the rights of Māori to determine their own lives.
