Politics of Indigeneity: Challenging the State in Canada and Aotearoa New Zealand

By Augie Fleras and Roger Maaka

The period 1995 to 2004 was the UN's International Decade of World Indigenous Peoples. This reflected the increasing organisation of indigenous peoples around a commonality of concerns, needs and ambitions. In both New Zealand and Canada, these politics challenge the colonial structures that social and political systems are built upon.
