This monograph investigates the nature of the relationship of the
New Zealand State (the Crown) with Maori as a tribally-based
people. Although recent New Zealand governments have tried to
address the history of Crown injustice to Maori, the relationship
of the Crown with the Maori tribally-based world continues to be
fraught with contradictions and tension. In addressing the question
as to why this situation continues, use is made of reports from the
Waitangi Tribunal, which was established by the Government in 1987
to enquire into Maori grievances against the Crown. These reports
include detailed testimonies from claimants about their way of life
and culture and the manner of their treatment by the Crown. The
monograph analyses evidence from the reports in order to identify
what underlies the ongoing friction between the Crown and the Maori
tribally-based world. This study is of interest to those who wish
to understand the contradictions between the political economy of
the modern state and the tribally-based world, and reasons for the
continued assertion of tribal identity in spite of the ideology
that casts the modern state as a superior social order.
