CULTURAL and INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
These are not exhaustive lists but a selection of resources.
Māori Intellectual Rights
 | Mana tuturu : Maori treasures and intellectual property rights, by Barry Barclay. (2005) Barry Barclay draws on his long experience as a filmmaker, often depicting Maori subjects, to conduct a hui, or public forum, to show, to listen, to suggest ways in which two worlds, each important, can meet. His gripping and moving book will be a guide in the areas of film and television, libraries, archives, and museums, jurisprudence and ethics; but beyond that it is the kind of classic book that anyone seriously concerned about the culture of contemporary New Zealand, or any postcolonial country, should read and ponder on.

Bennion, Tom. Editorial : United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, in, Māori law review ; (February 2008) pp. 1-4
There are four articles – 26 (lands and resources), 28 (redress) 19 and 32 (right of veto over state – which are “fundamentally incompatible with New Zealand’s constitutional and legal arrangements, the Treaty of Waitangi and the principle of governing for the good of our citizens”. These form the basis of the New Zealand government’s rejection of the declaration.
