>>Not sure, but what about the maori ? (or is totally different from the aboriginals in australia)

>>Quite different. The Maori had the rare distinction of forcing the British to "sign a treaty with the natives" rather than simply conquering and seizing. There was some colonialist bad behavior after that (land grabs etc) but nothing like what happened elsewhere when an industrialized party decided to claim land occupied by hunter-gatherers.

>The American Indians signed many treaties with the British, French, and later Americans...which were later followed by land grabs...

Which were then followed by money grabs - what Hollywood made famous in cowboy movies, one guy owning the whole town etc... and this is the basis of the legal system? Were any of these wrongs ever rectified?
