ABOUT
An essential and historically significant legal document mapping the intersection of customary rights and New Zealand law.
Published in March 1989 by the New Zealand Law Commission, this original softcover volume (Preliminary Paper No. 9) provides the deep background analysis that helped shape the modern landscape of Māori fisheries settlements.
Titled Mātaitai, the paper provides an exhaustive review of traditional Māori fishing practices, tribal authority, and the crown's obligations under the Treaty of Waitangi. Arriving at a period of intense legal re-evaluation, it examines critical concepts surrounding indigenous resource management, common law precedents, and equal protections under the rule of law. It features the distinctive, kōwhaiwhai-patterned navy cover characteristic of early Law Commission publications.
