"Indigenous people are increasingly organising around a commonality of concerns, needs and ambitions that challenge the constitutional structures established by settler colonies. These political pressures have forced governments around the world to respond. New Zealand had begun to right historical wrongs through Waitangi Tribunal settlements and bicultural strategies. Canada is experimenting with self-government for Aboriginal Peoples." "The authors discuss the constitutional history of both countries, what is currently happening to improve the constitutional status of indigenous peoples, and what might happen in forging a post-colonial contract. They seek to transform the foundational principles that underpin settler governance by 'constitutionalising' indigeneity and 'indigenising' the constitution."--Jacket.
