In this piece, I explore the similarities and differences—in terms of social justice issues—of two historical cases regarding Indigenous peoples: Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand and Navajo in the United States. I look at the foundational documents of the Treaty of Waitangi and the Navajo Treaty of 1868 and explore how they have been enacted in these two cases.
