A comprehensive analysis, the included topics are as diverse as treaty making in New Zealand and British Columbia; land, the law, amd political rights for indigenous peoples; maritime agreements; Torres Strait Islander self-government; race discrimination in Australia; the Timor Sea Treaty; and copyright and intellectual property issues for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander authors. This valuable reference includes contributions from Marcia Langton, Gillian Triggs, Joe Williams, and Noel Pearson."--Jacket.
