New Zealand's Forgotten Promises: The Treaty Of Waitangi, Jennifer S. Mcginty
New Zealand's Forgotten Promises: The Treaty Of Waitangi, Jennifer S. Mcginty
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
This Note presents the problems the Maori, New Zealand's indigenous people, have encountered in seeking enforcement of the Treaty of Waitangi that they signed with Great Britain in 1840.

It correctly points out the high hurdles that toxic racism's victims must overcome to successfully pursue such a strategy. Godsil's piece will hopefully spur more academic and on-the-ground work in this nascent legal field, which I call "environmental poverty law" - that is, representing low-income communities (often, in this field, communities of color) facing environmental hazards. As a practitioner of environmental poverty law …
