Syndetics book coverThe state of Māori rights, by Margaret Mutu.
"The State of Maori Rights brings together a set of articles written between 1994 and 2009. It places on record the Maori view of events and issues that took place over these years, issues that have been more typically reported to the general public from a 'mainstream' media perspective. It is an important documentation of these fifteen years of New Zealand history, recording the assertion of Maori rights as the indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand, focusing on Maori issues and experiences and written from a Maori perspective." (Publisher's information). Seabed and foreshore issues are discussed particularly in chapters 10-12.

Syndetics book coverWaitangi and indigenous rights : revolution, law and legitimation / by F. M. (Jock) Brookfield ; foreword by the Hon. Justice David Baragwanath.
"[Professor Brookfield's] central theme is how a revolutionary taking of power by one people over another may be partly legitimated. Wrongs done to those who suffered the takeover must then be redressed with due allowance for new rights and interests that have developed from it.The first part of the book deals with role of law in actual or threatened revolution, but especially in the revolutionary expansions of Western imperialism. In the second part the focus narrows to the British Crown's seizure of power over Aotearoa New Zealand from 1840, the counter-revolutionary challenges of Maori over the years, the establishment of the separate New Zealand Crown, and the present problems of doing justice to Maori constitutional claims...." (Syndetics summary) The Epilogue focuses on Māori customary title : foreshore and seabed and the Foreshore and Seabed Act.

Syndetics book coverPublic policy and ethnicity : the politics of ethnic boundary making / edited by Elizabeth Rata, Roger Openshaw ; with a preface by Jonathan Friedman.
"Investigating the global process of ethnic politics at local levels, this collection, through a focus on policy areas such as education, business, government and health, demonstrates that recognizing ethnicity in public policy making not only creates artificial divisions and permanent boundaries, but also supports the reactionary politics of elites. The boundaries created between ethnic groups by public policy increases rather than decreases social division whilst doing little to alter patterns of social inequality. Book jacket."
Chap. 5. The paradox of indigenous rights : the controversy around the foreshore and the seabed in New Zealand, by Toon van Meijl.

Syndetics book coverThe gathering storm over the foreshore and seabed : why it must remain in Crown ownership / Hugh Barr.
Discusses the background to the National Government's introducing a Bill to Parliament to remove Crown (i.e. public) ownership from New Zealand's foreshore and seabed, which will allow Maori tribal groups to own areas of the foreshore and seabed, including the currently Crown owned resources they contain. This major political issue is a result of National's pact with the Maori Party to share power. .... Privatisation to customary title means that tribal groups will be given very strong private property rights and so will be able to exploit the minerals, aquaculture, and control of recreational and commercial facilities (launching ramps, wharves, marinas, mooring buoys etc) in their areas, and charge fees to make money. .... The book is a lively and stimulating read that cuts through the National and Maori Parties' self-interest and secrecy. This is a very important issue that will adversely affect all New Zealanders for many years to come. (drawn from www.fishpond.co.nz)

Syndetics book coverNgā tai matatū : tides of Māori endurance / Mason Durie.
"Durie's detailed and at times pedantic overview of Maori history, society, and politics puts forward a framework for analyzing Maori cultural endurance amid the tides of change. His "endurance" paradigm consists of five domains--spiritual, human, resources, global, and navigational--all of which interact with other factors, such as Maori ability to adapt to new environments, demographic trends, access to land and fishing resources, capacity to exercise a political voice, and success in exploiting the legal heritage. .... Building on the work of the tribunal, recent legislation and court decisions in New Zealand have recognized some of the principles of traditional Maori land tenure and extended Maori foreshore, seabed, and commercial fishing interests. " (drawn from Choice, courtesy of Syndetics). Note : Chap. 4. Takutai Moana ; between the tides.
