Abstract
The analysis in the previous chapter made clear that, though existing intellectual property (IP) and related law could be used to protect some Māori interests in their cultural heritage, it cannot do so in an all-encompassing or satisfying way. This is in large part due to the disparities between how IP and its related laws function and the means by which Māori knowledge systems operate, much of which hinges on the idea of “ownership”. As discussed above (Sect. 3.1), indigenous peoples, including Māori, do not view their relationship with their tangible and intangible cultural heritage as one of “ownership”. In other words, their relationship usually does not equate to the bundle of rights usually associated with “property” of title, possession, exclusivity and alienability. Though in many situations, the relationship may be equivalent to “ownership”, or may be “ownership-like”, it is often better construed as a relationship of guardianship or stewardship (kaitiakitanga). Many indigenous communities care for their cultural heritage as a duty to their ancestors and to future generations. Indigenous peoples, thus, do not own their cultural heritage, so much as have duties and responsibilities over it. The disconnect between ownership and responsibilities also means that indigenous peoples may have duties over that which they do not own. Furthermore, though Western property is individual in nature, indigenous peoples seldom “own” their tangible and intangible property and lands individually, but as a collective. This is true even if one (or several identifiable) individual(s) has (or have) the responsibility over it. The duty is undertaken on behalf of the community.

Legislation in the field of resource management also takes into account the role of the guardian (kaitiaki), such as in the Resource Management Act 1991 (NZ) and Fisheries Act 1996 (NZ). Indeed, most of the discourse on indigenous stewardship relates to land-based resources; see, e.g. Jaksa (2006); Rodgers (2009); and Anaya (2004, 2005).

This Focus Group made a suggestion that there could be a differentiation between words, symbols, sounds or smells that are important to a specific Māori group (for which evidence of permission to use would be required) and those that are important to all Māori (for which registration would be dependent on whether it were “culturally appropriate”).

Of course, this depends on how “Māori” is defined and whether one must be Māori to be a kaitiaki . For example, whether it includes those that have no whakapapa, but have been adopted or married into Māori families and are considered Māori by a whānau, hapū or iwi. Problems with defining “Māori” have been discussed elsewhere; Lai (2010), pp. 5–9.

With respect to their “stewardship” model of property, Carpenter, Katyal and Riley also note that the duty of stewardship must originate in tribal customary law, predating colonisation. Tribal law will itself limit the claims of indigenous communities. See Carpenter et al. (2010), p. 587.

Canada has the “Igloo Tag” for Inuit art and Alaska utilises the “Silver Hand” certification mark; see Zografos (2010), p. 103 and fn 1, and 113–119. The US has the Indian Arts and Crafts Act 1990, 25 USC 305–310, which seeks to ensure authenticity and to create “trademarks of genuineness and quality for Indian products” that could be registered with the US Patent and Trademark Office, free of charge. Furthermore, civil and criminal penalties were created for counterfeiting the marks and for misrepresenting a work of art as Indian made when not. See above, Sect. 3.5.2. Australia also implemented an state-backed authenticity label, but this failed, though notably more for lack of consultation and poor accountability, rather than a failure of the underpinnings of trade mark law; see Graber and Lai (2011), pp. 290–292.

Māori academic Ocean Ripeka Mercier has described the Māori knowledge system as “culturalised, spriritualised, but [not] intellectualised”; compared to the Western knowledge system, which document all trial and error, experimentation and theory implementation, making the knowledge “intellectualised”. Mercier noted that much Māori knowledge would have been developed through such trial and error, observation, hypothesis making and experimentation, but this was never recorded, making it not “intellectualised”, or at least seemingly so.

Being endemic or not does not affect a species ability to be taonga. For example, the kumara (a sweet potato) is not endemic to New Zealand, but was brought to Aotearoa from Hawaiki in the canoes when the Māori first arrived. Before Polynesia, kumara came from South America. Because they came over with the canoes, their status as taonga is even greater. See Wai 262, supra note 23, p. 135.

Ibid., pp. 192–194. In the Wai 262 claim, the Crown attempted to deny that species and genetic information could be taonga for the purposes of the Treaty, as genetic resources were not known of in 1840. However, this contention was weakly made and not taken seriously by the Tribunal. It was already an established principle that what falls within the purview of the Treaty is not static, but dynamic (193).

As Aroha Mead has noted, in New Zealand, there are still debates about whether Māori knowledge is in fact scientific and scientists, academics and corporate professionals will need to be “de-programed” in order to work with indigenous peoples and their communities in a “very direct and active way”. Mead goes so far as to call this “racist”. See Mead (1994), pp. 2–3. See also Turvey (2009).

A/810) (10 December 1948), Art. 22, provides that every person has the right to the “social and cultural rights indispensable for his dignity and the free development of his personality”, however the UDHR is not binding on its parties.

X (2011). For an extreme view, see Newman (2011). Newman’s article borders on being propaganda-like and racist in nature. In the least, it is dangerously provocative. It is clear that she either did not read the full report before writing her piece, or did not grasp the intention behind the recommendations of the Waitangi Tribunal. Yet, states that the claimants have a “race-based lust for power and control”, that non-Māori “are being increasingly marginalised by the cunning strategies of a greedy tribal elite”; and are treating non-Māori as fools by claiming spirituality that does not exist. Moreover, she places fire under fears already existent in mainstream New Zealand that any rights given to Māori will create a “country permanently divided by race, with a Māori aristocracy based on privilege.” Māori lawyer Joshua Hitchcock stated that her opinion was an “utter disgrace” and “nothing more than an attempt to spread fear through the Pākehā population that [the Wai 262] Report will be the catalyst for the takeover of New Zealand by a Māori Oligarchy”; Hitchcock (2011). For another paper that seems to miss the point, see Levine (2010).
