Treaty of Waitangi Settlements

by Janine Hayward, Nicola Wheen (Editor)

The settlement of iwi claims under the Treaty of Waitangi has drawn international attention, as other nations seek ways to build new relationships between indigenous peoples and the state.

Here leading scholars consider the impact of Treaty settlements on the management and ownership of key resources (lands, forests and fisheries); they look at the economic and social consequences for Māori, and the impact of the settlement process on Crown–Māori relationships. And they ask ‘how successful has the settlement process been?'

Dnf. Read most of this for a literature review of criticism of the Treaty settlement process. It was not as critical as I wanted at points - much of it was descriptive. I suppose that is a good balance - to introduce those who are not familiar and to critique when the foundation is built. Not quite what I needed and wanted though.
