http://www.natsiew.nexus.edu.au/lens/treaty/treaty.html
Treaties with Indigenous peoples Broadly, a “treaty” is an agreement between two or more parties who seek to have their relationship with each other defined. Some examples of principles a treaty may embody include: The recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the “first peoples” of Australia
  • Recognition of the inherent and distinct rights that flow from recognition;
  • The establishment of national standards;
  • A framework for settling relationships between Indigenous peoples and governments at local, regional, state, territory and federal levels;
Australia has no treaties with its Indigenous peoples.  Unfortunately, in the formation of Federation, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples were overlooked as relevant parties.  A national treaty with Indigenous peoples could have recognised and protected Indigenous rights and led to a just constitutional basis for the Australian Federation.  Canada and New Zealand both have treaties with Indigenous peoples.  Australia is therefore in the beneficial position of being able to assess, learn from and adapt the treaty models from other countries.

Reserved Seats in Parliament for Indigenous Peoples-the Maori Example
Georgina McGill
Politics and Public Administration Group
June 1997
Introduction Constitutional reform and reconciliation between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians are two continuing and important items on the policy agenda. They converge on the issue of reserved indigenous seats in Parliament. In its 1995 Social Justice submission the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation recommended that any constitutional consultation process explore the possibility of separate indigenous seats in both Houses of the Commonwealth Parliament.(1) In April 1997 the NSW Parliament Standing Committee on Social Issues called for public submissions on Aboriginal representation in the NSW Parliament.(2) Aboriginal people have sought dedicated representation since at least 1938, when a petition was presented to Prime Minister Lyons demanding representation in the national Parliament.(3) A number of countries have a form of indigenous representation. In Norway, for example, the Sami have their own Assembly and in the state of Maine in the United States, two Indian tribes have seats in the state legislature but without voting rights. However, only New Zealand has a system which specifically includes the indigenous people in the general parliamentary process.

Graduate Profile for Master of Laws in Maori/Pacific and Indigenous Peoples
Preamble
The establishment of the School of Law in June of 1990 marked a significant development in legal education in New Zealand. Its aim is to provide an excellent contemporary legal education. Its mission is to provide critical research for the public good and liberal legal education to people of the region and beyond. Working in close consultation with the University of the South Pacific (Vanuatu), the qualification of Master of Laws in Pacific Legal Studies was established in 1999. Further development saw the degree extended to its present title Master of Laws in Maori/Pacific and Indigenous Peoples. The University has developed strong relationships and networks with communities, practitioners and businesses to ensure that its programmes and qualifications are relevant and responsive to our Masters students' needs as well as their needs. The University is also responsive to a range of social and economic goals which have been identified as priorities by Government, and often seeks to encompass these goals within the papers offered at the Masters level. The generic capabilities developed by our graduates are important, as are specialist knowledge and skills. This graduate profile identifies linkages with other education sector groups, community groups, industry and employers who have an interest in the capabilities of graduates of this qualification, who contribute to programme planning and development, and who also, in many cases, provide workplace experience opportunities.

Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues
Item: 6 Education and Culture
Mr Chairman:
This intervention from Te Kawau Maro of Aotearoa- New Zealand elaborates on the issues of education and culture. I want to remind the forum of a key principle of the Permanent Forum, enunciated by the High Commissioner Mrs. Mary Robertson, that of partnership, partnership in action, the operative words being partnership and action. It is assumed the partnership is equal. I wish to return to this matter but first a few comments.
These questions are in the context of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous issues, a supposed new ground breaking institution philosophically, ideologically, culturally and politically to name a few differences. United Nations institutions recognize a certain hierarchy and subsequent behavior by is actors reinforce it, this is normal, we have seen this, it will take time for those institutions to recognize and accommodate a change that is happening.
Why should this issue be raised, because we as Indigenous Peoples are permanently entering an institution that has, at times been difficult? At various Indigenous conferences we have heard Indigenous Peoples state the United Nations should be de-colonized. If that perspective has merit then let us do something about it. There is more than enough Indigenous expertise to assist. There is a concern that the Indigenous Permanent Forum comes under unnecessary pressure within the United Nations, this is real, not imagined.

Witi Ihimaera and Patricia Grace: The Maori Renaissance

...Within the body of Maori writing in English, that which we think of as 'literature' in the narrow sense of the word is again smaller in volume and more recent than the variety of written forms diaries, journalism, translations, letters which date back to the beginning of the nineteenth century and the first acquaintance of Maori people with print culture. Maori writing in the novel and short story genres begins around 1970. It represents a tiny portion of the whole literature of the Maori people and one which translates the experience of Maori people into a doubly alien medium: into print and into English. Maori literature in English is a product of interaction with Pakeha cultural expressions and is therefore necessarily a hybrid literature.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
(Redirected from Maori Te Puni , Māori Chief Māori is the name of the indigenous people of New Zealand , and their language . It is also the name of the people and language of the Cook Islands , referred to as Cook Islands Māori The word māori means "normal" or "ordinary" in the Māori language and is widely applied ("wai māori" is fresh water as distinct from seawater ). "Māori" has similarities in some other Polynesian languages such as Hawaiian in which the cognate word maoli means native, indigenous, real or actual. The use of the term Māoris as the plural of Māori is now generally used outside New Zealand. Today, many Māori prefer to refer to themselves as tāngata whenua (literally "people of the land").

Māori arrival in New Zealand
It is not precisely known when Māori arrived. Polynesian voyagers are believed to have migrated to what is now New Zealand from eastern Polynesia in the latter part of the 1st millennium CE . As their descendants adjusted their practices and culture to their new environment, they became the Māori. New Zealand was one of the last Pacific island groups reached by humans.

    Abstract
    This paper surveys Internet information resources relating to the Maori, the indigenous people of Aotearoa/New Zealand, and examines issues that arise when indigenous peoples' culture is placed in a digital networked environment. Keywords: digital libraries and museums, cultural property, indigenous peoples, intellectual property, Internet, Maori, networked information resources, New Zealand, virtual museums.

    Introduction
    The indigenous people of New Zealand are the Maori, descended from the great Polynesian voyagers who swept across the Pacific, arriving in New Zealand about 1,000 years ago, calling the land "Aotearoa," the land of the long white cloud, reflecting the view of the landmass topped with cloud that the early voyagers must have seen as they came south. About 200 years ago, the Maori started to have contact with Europeans and their technology, with results similar to those experienced by other indigenous peoples: population decline through disease, loss of land and sovereignty, and cultural alienation. On the other hand, the Maori were noted for their uptake of European technology. Muskets, of course, were adopted quickly, to the cost of the settler forces. Maori adopted European agriculture and shipping methods quickly

    and how they are fighting back. When news of Dolly the cloned sheep made the world headlines, few realized that the company who claimed it created Dolly was also engaged in field trials in Tauranga, Aotearoa /New Zealand. Meanwhile, in Papua New Guinea, researchers have been busy trying to patent the genes of the Hagahai people, hoping to find a cure for leukaemia. There was a massive global outcry at the US patent, led by the Canadian-based Rural Advancement International Foundation (RAFI) but also advanced at a Pacific regional level, which ultimately resulted in a US decision to abandon the patent. The actual DNA samples have yet to be repatriated and a similar claim on DNA properties of Solomon Island peoples has yet to be considered. Far from being resolved, there is a feeling that in the future researchers will continue to act in this manner, but will refrain from applying a patent until the last stages of research. The Hagahai patent was taken out in the early stages. Patents have been taken out on animals, people and, of course, plants. Take Kava. Kava is a plant which has become a fundamental aspect of Melanesian and Polynesian cultures in terms of hospitality, mana (esteem) and, in some cases, social inter-action. Kava is integral to the identity of the Pacific. It is a tradition we all know and respect, one which we have assumed will always be with us. Recently, US and German companies have attempted to assert property rights over species of the Kava. Their research has identified useful pharmaceutical products over which they wish to assert exclusive ownership.

    Introduction
    Recently a watershed moment occurred in the world of intellectual and cultural property rights in Aotearoa, New Zealand, when the "Toi Iho" trademark [ The Toi Iho trademark asserts authenticity in the creative arts and provides a cultural context for works that have a Maori lineage or whakapapa. The Toi Iho trademark signifies an ethos of ownership, respect, and active engagement with the Maori people from which the culture sprang. ], when Ruaumoko [ ], the foetal earthquake-god, kicked the belly of the earth mother to create the ravines and mountains of Aotearoa / New Zealand, and when Maui [ ] first discovered Aotearoa near the end of the first millennium.
    Digitizing Cultural Materials
    Anything can be digitized: any story, legend, map, chart, blueprint, or equation. Any storyteller recorded in video or sound format can be transformed into a digital rendition for access on local or global networks. When digitizing cultural materials, the important questions are: How do we send a message that strengthens the holistic context of each cultural item and collection? How do we ensure that both indigenous and non-indigenous peoples receive the message? How do we digitize material taking into account its metaphysical as well as its digital life?
