Further Details Title: Maori Property in the Foreshore and Seabed Condition: New Subtitle: The Last Frontier EAN: 9780864735539 ISBN: 9780864735539 Publisher: Victoria University Press Format: Paperback Release Date: 09/14/2007 Description: Exploring an issue of international significance, this collection of essays addresses the reconciliation of the pre-existing, inherent rights of indigenous peoples with those held and asserted by the state. Focusing upon the Maori tribes of New Zealand, topics include the historical origins of the Ngati Apa decision—one of the most controversial modern decisions on Maori rights—how the Foreshore and Seabed Act (FSA) compares with schemes created in other countries with indigenous inhabitants, how the FSA has led to major changes in the country's political landscape, and how it stacks up against international human rights and environmental laws. This detailed study also explores New Zealand’s legislation and how it has undermined the rights of Maori tribes, tipping the reconciliation process too far in favor of the state.
