Syndetics book coverMana tūturu : Māori treasures and intellectual property rights, by Barry Barclay.
"Documentary filmmaker and writer Barclay writes here about law in a very general sense not limited to book law or judge law, about Indigenous spirituality and intellectual treasures, and about the arts and artists. His sections address Indigenous rights over native flora and fauna, how the Maori phrase mana tuturu, guardianship, is used in a film archive deposit agreement, and arts and law as aspects of any particular culture but also of human society in general. There is no index. (Annotation courtesy of Syndetics)
