Earlier this month the Australian Government officially endorsed the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
The move was highly significant because along with the United States, Canada and New Zealand, Australia was one of just four countries to vote against the adoption of the declaration by the General Assembly in 2007.
Later that year the Supreme Court of Belize became the first court in the world to cite the declaration in a decision upholding the rights of the local Maya indigenous people to their traditional lands and resources.
In Ideas this week we hear from aboriginal lawyer Megan Davis about the reaction in Australia to the decision and we talk with Maori academic and long-time campaigner for the declaration Aroha Mead and MP and Maori Party foreign affairs spokesperson Hone Harawera.
A weekly programme exploring a range of philosophical, social, historical and environmental ideas.
Ideas is broadcast on Radio New Zealand National at 11:05am on Sunday Morning with Chris Laidlaw
