- The Political Economy of Freshwater Rivers and the Commodification of the Sacred in Aotearoa/New Zealand
-
This paper takes up the question of what we are for or against, in the context of the commodification of what Habermas terms the 'life world' and the struggle for control over resources. It does so through an examination of the diminishing quality of water and the modification of river systems in Aotearoa/New Zealand and the struggle to own, control and modify a unique, wild and beautiful braided river which is sacred to the Maori people of Waitaha, the Waitaki River . Indigenous peoples are in many ways particularly vulnerable in this struggle for ownership and control, and Maori are no exception. In exploring the tensions between the control of energy resources, the need for economic development, and indigenous values which honour the sacred, this paper reaffirms the relevance of indigenous ontologies and cosmologies in the search for ecological justice and argues for a new ecological paradigm.

- UN Expert on Human Rights of Indigenous People Concludes Visit to New Zealand
-
UN Press Release, 25 November 2005. Statement from Rodolfo Stavenhagen, the Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms of Indigenous People of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, who visited New Zealand from 16 to 25 November 2005 at the invitation of the Government. "While there is agreement that in general the standard of living of the Maori has improved and is more satisfactory than that of indigenous peoples in poorer countries, there is also widespread concern that the gap in social and economic conditions is actually growing larger and that an increasing proportion of Maori are being left behind. Despite positive developments over the past years, there are in fact significant disparities between Maori and Pakeha in regard to social and human development indicators, especially in the fields of health, housing, income, education and social services."
