In this article, I demonstrate how patriarchal white sovereignty deploys virtue to dispossess Indigenous peoples from the ground of moral value by focusing on the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. This will be explicated through analysing the introduction and four key rights areas that were contested by Canada, Australia, the United States and New Zealand, and looking at core elements of their subsequent endorsement of the Declaration
