In page 8, point 2, of Twisting the Treaty, we read that the Maori only arrived in New Zealand 400 odd years before Tasman (or, if you prefer, 500 odd years before Cook).
In my dictionary, Indigenous is defined as; originating, growing or living naturally in a particular region or environment, 2. Innate or inborn.
Just how Treatyists can compare the above 400 years with the 40,000 years of the Aboriginals of Australia, is beyond a joke, or even any serious intelligent thought on the matter.
Taking this to a logical conclusion, it shows up the duplicity of the United Nations in allowing Maori to sign up to any Charter for Indigenous People. And to take that one step further, it shows up also the treachery of National who encouraged them in the matter.
