Introduction
The Ngāti Te Korotuohu tribe has come to a law firm in order to ask for advice about claiming full chieftainship over all of the Waihau, including all of the coastal areas, and to see whether they are able to get assistance from the commonwealth jurisdictions as well as the United Nations in order to progress with their claims.
Facts
Ngāti Korotuohu is an iwi (tribe) whose traditional tribal sea and land domain, known as Waihau, is a territory which includes a large natural harbour and coastline of approximately 100 kms in the north-west of the North Island of Aotearoa/New Zealand. The area of Waihau is approximately 2,400 square hectares, much of that being bordered by the sea and they often engaged in deep sea fishing 15 kms out to sea. Most of Waihau has been passed down from generation to generation since the beginning of time to present day.
The tribes continue to live on the land and exploit its resources for everyday survival; including fishing, harvesting kaimoana (seafood), manu (birds) and other traditional foods and medicines, bathing and cooking in different hot pools along the beach and elsewhere, for collecting hangi stones and other minerals such as gravel for constructing building foundations and paths, using pounamu (greenstone jade) for rituals, carving and trade, and the tribe even used raw petroleum from a section of Waihau for fuelling fires and lamps.
The land of Waihau also contains an ancient burial ground, sacred sights and other
Are the hunting, fishing, and gathering rights guaranteed to the Ojibwe in the 1837 treaty still valid and enforceable? Did the Minnesota act ethically when it asserted the Ojibwe hunting, fishing and gathering rights were no longer valid?
In the Ulladulla area the Budawang Tribe inhabited the Conjola, Lake George to Moruya, the Budawang tribe spoke Dhurga, which is an Aboriginal language spoken from Jervis Bay to Wallaga Lake. The Aboriginal tribal group from Jervis Bay to Twofold Bay was Yuin. Captain Cook first sighted the Budawang Tribe on the shores of Murramarang at Koorbrua Beach in 1770, yet the earliest settlers for the area were in 1828 in the Ulladulla Harbour. (C. Dunn, 2000).
Pua, fights Kawehi on what exhibits should be shown in the museum. Pua argues that some of them pain Hawaiians in a harsh and false light, and therefore removes Kawehi’s exhibit, representing the views of the Hawaiian people. However, a deeper motive is revealed by Kawehi: “It’s true, isn’t it? (Pause) You’re in bed with the developers. / My only concern is for the Hawaiian people. / Don’t do it, Pua. / Development brings money and jobs to a community. / Right, Pua, Waikiki’s made Hawaiians into millionaires. (Pause) You’re afraid my research will get in the way”(169). This demonstrates that Pua does not actually believe that the exhibit falsely portrays Hawaiian history, but that the exhibit could slow or even suspend development. Not only does this show Pua does not care how Hawaiian history is shown, just how it affects development that could make her money; it also shows that she does not care how the development affects HAwaiians. She claims that she is in favor of the new building happening because it brings money, but Kawehi goes on to point out that Hawaiians are not rich yet, even though lots of their island has already been developed for resorts. Pua may claim to be advocating on behalf of the Hawaiians, but these quotes reveal that she is only out for herself, showing her to have less noble of
There are hundreds of Native American tribes and millions of people that are within North America that identify themselves as Native Americans. Each tribe has their own unique customs, language, and myths. However, within the confines of this paper I will take a broad view with regards to Native American customs and traditions from a small sample of tribes that were observed prior to the vast expansion of colonizing the west.
In 1840 the Māori chiefs and the English crown signed the Treaty of Waitangi which showed the dual heritage between the cultures and to develop a partnership to develop a shared future as we have today. This historical event has big impacts on Te Whāriki the way it was created with both Māori and Pākehā input to develop a curriculum that supports every child to develop as confident and competent learners. “.. all
As suggested earlier, small bodies of water that may have been present provided the tribe a source of drinking water. Since they have terms for cow, pig, calf, and sheep but no terms for beef, pork, veal, leather, or mutton, it is most likely that the tribe did not slaughter these animals for food or clothing. The tribe lived among these animals, and one might assume they valued them as living creatures. Based on the focus on grains, one might also assume that they are vegetarians based on the provided data; however, while they did not eat red meat, the possible presence of rivers and lakes suggests the availability of fresh water fish.

The Chitimacha Tribe of Louisiana is a part of the southeast Native American tribes. This tribe has been known to be farmers, hunters and gatherers (Southeast American). The extent of this paper will explore the rich tribal history and lifestyles of the Chitimacha tribe. The word Chitimacha is the people’s word for “those living on Grand River”, according to the scholarly article The Historic Indian Tribes of Louisiana: from 1542 to the Present Louisiana by Fred B. Kniffen. This is relevant information because it helps us to better understand the people of this tribe. The Chitimacha tribe is the only to still live in the same place they lived in 1700 (Kniffen).

The Chumash lived along the southern part of California’s warm coastal region. Chumash Indians lived in dome- shaped houses, called aps. Some of the houses could fit up to 70 people. The house was made out of bent willow branches and surf grass. The doorway was covered with a mat of weeds. A fire was usually built in the center of the ap to keep it warm. The ap, therefore, had an opening in the roof to allow smoke from cooking to come out. Each Chumash village usually had houses, a sweat lodge, buildings for storing food, and an area for ceremonies.
The Wurundjeri tribe today under the, Wurrundjeri Tribe Land Compensation and Cultural Heritage Council, established in 1985 by the direct descendants, aims to raise awareness of their culture and history through the statutory roles under the Commonwealth and Victorian Legislation.

Events in the past of Hawaii, like the Mahele of 1848, left a devastating mark in Hawaii’s history; It helped eventually lead to the overthrow of the monarch and still affects today’s problems in Hawaii.
A government surveyor drew a line separating the Wallowa Valley. The Nez Perce objected. The Nez Perce claimed, “the Indians who signed the new treaty were the leaders of other bands and had no right to give up land that was not even theirs” (Williams & Youngs, 5). This is how the Non-Treaty came about. Soon the whites and Indians fought over the land and Indians were killed, one that was best friend with Joseph, he felt like he was is brother. Burial was granted to bury the Indian in the valley by General Howard.
