Treaties and Indigenous Peoples: The Robb Lectures 1990

This is a collection of Professor Ian Brownlie's 1990 Robb Lectures which were delivered at the University of Auckland. At a time when the rights of minorities are of great concern, this work covers important international aspects of the rights of the Maori—the native people of New Zealand—under the Treaty of Waitangi which was signed in 1840 between the Maori chiefs and Queen Victoria and became the foundation of New Zealand as a British colony.
