Tikanga Māori and the rights of nature
From rising sea levels to shifting weather, patterns the effects climate change are global. Nonetheless, Indigenous Peoples are the most vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change and yet by implementing their Indigenous worldview Indigenous Peoples are providing solutions to ameliorate the adverse effects of climate change. Unsurprisingly there is a desire to understand these Indigenous solutions. In this context, this article examines …
Indigenous and Minority Activism under the United Nations
This article looks at the classification and treatment of indigenous peoples and minorities’ rights under the United Nations. In particular, it explores what the differences between indigenous and minorities, and the differences and similarities between activism for indigenous and minority rights under the United Nations umbrella are. It concludes by proposing recommendations for change so that advocacy for these rights and implementation of them…
Indigenous Courts, Self-Determination and Criminal Justice
In New Zealand, as well as in Australia, Canada and other comparable jurisdictions, Indigenous peoples comprise a significantly disproportionate percentage of the prison population. For example, Maori, who comprise 15% of New Zealand’s population, make up 50% of its prisoners. For Maori women, the figure is 60%. These statistics have, moreover, remained more or less the same for at least the past thirty years. With New Zealand as its focus, this …
Respecting and recognising Indigenous rights when challenged by commercial activities
The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples was hailed as a triumph among Indigenous peoples, signalling a long-awaited recognition of their fundamental human rights. Despite this, many violations of these basic rights continue, particularly in relation to extractive industries and business activities. In response, a business reference guide seeks to inform industries of their responsibilities. This article examines the ten…
Te Mata Ira—Faces of the Gene
Te Mata Ira was a three-year research project (2012–2015) that explored Māori views on genomic research and biobanking for the development of culturally appropriate guidelines. A key component of this process has been to identify Māori concepts that provide cultural reference points for engaging with biobanking and genomic research. These cultural cues provide the basis for describing the cultural logic that underpins engagement in this context i…
Engaging Maori in Biobanking and Genetic Research
Publically funded biobanking initiatives and genetic research should contribute towards reducing inequalities in health by reducing the prevalence and burden of disease. It is essential that Maori and other Indigenous populations share in health gains derived from these activities. The Health Research Council of New Zealand has funded a research project (2012-2015) to identify Maori perspectives on biobanking and genetic research, and to develop …
Are Parole Boards working? Or is it time for an [Indigenous] Re entry Court
Indigenous Peoples’ Fisheries Rights – A comparative perspective between Maori and the Sami
The right to fish is intrinsic to the culture of indigenous peoples, including the Sami of Norway and Maori of New Zealand. The Sami currently still seek recognition of their cultural right to fish. Despite recent recommendations by the Smith Commission that Sami rights within the coastal area be recognized, this is yet to be realised. The Attorney General’s scathing criticisms have impeded the implementation of Sami rights within the coastal are…
Are Domestic Violence Courts working for indigenous peoples
It is well established that the disproportionate imprisonment rates for indigenous peoples surpass that of non‐indigenous peoples. What is troubling is the alarming statistic that indicates that the rate of apprehension, prosecution and recidivism of indigenous women surpasses that of not only non‐indigenous peoples but also male indigenous peoples. This article proposes a court setting for domestic violence that incorporates therapeutic jurispru…
