Explore the transformative discussion paper, 'Water Rights for Ng?i Tahu,' authored by Te Maire Tau, published by Canterbury University Press. This comprehensive analysis delves into one of New Zealand's most pressing issues: the contentious debate surrounding water rights. Water is claimed by the Crown as a resource that no one owns, yet its allocation and management are tightly controlled by local governments under Crown regulations. This disconnect raises important questions about ownership and rights, particularly for the Ng?i Tahu iwi, who have historically grappled with these issues. In this essential read, spanning 74 pages in a convenient paperback format (148 x 210 mm), Tau investigates the historical and political frameworks that shape current water ownership discussions. He emphasizes the importance of customary rights, legal precedents, and the Treaty of Waitangi in the debate over water rights for Ng?i Tahu. The book offers crucial insights into the Crown’s historical land purchases, which neglected to mention water rights, prompting deeper inquiries into current claims and the role of kaitiakitanga in promoting mana motuhake and tino rangatiratanga. As the environmental situation escalates, understanding these frameworks is more important than ever. Order 'Water Rights for Ng?i Tahu' today to engage in this vital conversation about the future of water ownership and usage in New Zealand. We are happy to combine shipping.

There is perhaps no issue in New Zealand today more contentious than water rights. The Crown claims that no one owns water, but its use, irrigation and treatment are controlled by local governments empowered by the Crown. Since the 1990s resource consents for the taking of water, in Canterbury and Southland especially, have increased dramatically and the environmental situation is reaching a breaking point. After years of discussion some kind of system regarding the ownership of water is inevitable. In Water Rights for Ng?i Tahu, Te Maire Tau considers the historical and political framework that has contributed to the current state of water rights in the Ng?i Tahu takiw?. He explores the customary, legal and Treaty frameworks that feed into the debate regarding the ownership of water. From 1844 to 1864 the Crown purchased more than 34.5 million acres of land from Ng?i Tahu, but in most purchase deeds water is not mentioned. How does this play into claims to water? Should the Treaty be relied upon? How far can kaitiakitanga take us if the goal is mana motuhake and tino rangatiratanga? In this short book Te Maire Tau lays out the historical background and context to water rights, and opens a discussion about where to proceed next in determining a Ng?i Tahu position on water.
