      abstract = {"Now more than ever, indigenous peoples' interests in  their cultural heritage are in the spotlight.

It does so by focusing on the New Zealand  Mêaaori. The book also looks to the future, analysing the  long-awaited Wai 262 report, released in New Zealand by the  Waitangi Tribunal in response to allegations that the  government had failed in its duty to ensure that the  Mêaaori retain chieftainship over their tangible and  intangible treasures, as required by the Treaty of  Waitangi, signed between the Mêaaori and the British Crown  in 1840"--Publisher description.},
