Summary
"Provides a timely examination of how the resolution of land claims in New Zealand has affected Māori law and the challenges faced by indigenous peoples as they attempt to exercise self-determination in a post colonial world. Combining analysis with Māori storytelling, Jones's nuanced reflections on the claims process show how Western legal thought has shaped treaty negotiations."--Publisher information.
