- Title
THE ANALOGOUS BOUNDARIES OF NGAATI MAHUTA, WAIKATO-TAINUI AND KIINGITANGA.

- Abstract
This article explores the process of claiming property and rights through Māori descent group identities. In particular, it examines the way that the State, through the Treaty claims process, reconfigures Māori group identities and political structures, elevating the corporate iwi above hapū and whānau groups. More specifically, the discussion details how Kiingitanga leader Robert Mahuta successfully advanced Waikato Māori claims to land and the Waikato River by effectively representing Waikato-Tainui as an enduring and important super-iwi.
