This account of the law surrounding the Treaty of Waitangi not only considers the constitutional nature of the relationship between Maori and Parliament, but also describes the legislative activities of the New Zealand Parliament regarding Maori, the role of the Waitangi Tribunal, and the laws affecting Maori land tenure. It addresses basic issues of constitutional law and theory including the legal aspects of the Crown's colonization of New Zealand, progressing to consider issues of contemporary relevance, such as common law aboriginal title, the developing rules of international law and the legal doctrine of the Crown's fiduciary duty.
