TIKANGA SOUGHT IN TREATY SETTLEMENTS
The author of a new book on treaty law wants to see more tikanga Maori reflected in treaty settlements.
The Victoria University law lecturer says the treaty of Waitangi sets out key ideas on the relationship between Maori tino rangatiratanga and kawanatanga or state authority which allow for flexibility as society changes.

He would like to see constitutional change that better reflects the indigenous sources that sit in the New Zealand constitution alongside ideas from the common law and Westminster traditions.....
