| Summary/Abstract |
Valuing indigeneity is a recent phenomenon despite a long tradition in Aotearoa New Zealand of mechanisms that recognize Maori rights and interests. Political pressure to acknowledge indigeneity has been a prerequisite to greater recognition of Maori rights and interests in environmental policy. Maori involvement is now a feature of the state resource management system; however, more substantive forms of power-sharing is sought to secure tribal authority, to reaffirm Maori culture, and to ensure that land continues to shape the identity of Maori people.
