This second volume of Economics, Politics and Colonisation' raises critical issues related to Cultural and Intellectual Property Rights . Its timing is apt given the increasing involvement of a wide range of national and multinational companies in acts of commodification of Indigenous resources, language and cultures. As this volume goes to print the hearing for the Wai 262 claim, before the Waitangi Tribunal, begins. This claim is one that raises crucial questions in regard to Cultural and Intellectual Property Rights and is one that will be followed with great interest by many. We acknowledge the work of the interviewers, interviewees, writers, photographers who have provided material for this volume. We also acknowledge the wider contribution made by each of these people in the struggle against the abuse and theft of Maori knowledge, reo, tikanga, genes, image, and their involvement in the development of mechanisms for the protection of Cultural and Intellectual Property Rights for Maori and Indigenous peoples generally.
