This book provides a new approach to the historical treatment of
indigenous peoples' sovereignty and property rights in Australia
and New Zealand. By shifting attention from the original European
claims of possession to a comparison of the ways in which British
players treated these matters later, Bain Attwood not only reveals
some startling similarities between the Australian and New Zealand
cases but revises the long-held explanations of the differences. He
argues that the treatment of the sovereignty and property rights of
First Nations was seldom determined by the workings of moral
principle, legal doctrine, political thought or government policy.
Instead, it was the highly particular historical circumstances in
which the first encounters between natives and Europeans occurred
and colonisation began that largely dictated whether treaties of
cession were negotiated, just as a bitter political struggle
determined the significance of the Treaty of Waitangi and ensured
that native title was made in New Zealand.
