Summary: This book brings together a collection of papers that reflect on the impact of Pākehā law and values on Māori legal thought and practice. They discuss issues such as the illogicality of seeking justice for Māori within the confines of the colonised law; the need for Pākehā to confront the implications of their position as inheritors of the spoils of colonisation; the myths that have been constructed to obscure the true nature of the Crown-Māori relationship as it was established in 1840; the insidious effect of Pākehā thought on Māori conceptions of reality; and the importance of reinstating tikanga at the heart of Māori thinking.
