Description
INTRODUCTION The great-unfinished project of post-settler nationhood is to convert illegitimate possession into legitimate belonging. It is a reversal of earlier colonial or settler projects that converted legitimate indigenous possession into illegitimate indigenous belonging. In creating a more secure place for post-settler identities, however, post-settler nations have done little or nothing to acknowledge urban or 'relocated' indigenous identities. On the contrary, post-settler belonging absolutely requires the perpetuation of an indigeneity through which new relationships to the land may be negotiated. Central to the project of post-settler belonging in New Zealand is the idea of the treaty nation. Within this imagined political community settlers belong by virtue of a relationship between the Crown, which represents them, and Maori tribal leaders who represent tangata whenua (people of the land).
