MAKING PROGRESSThere have been struggles between the
governments of Australia/ New Zealand and the Aborigines/Maori. These native groups have been concerned about land rights.
Through negotiations, Australia had returned to Aborigines the guardianship of sacred territories.
In New Zealand, some land has been returned to the Maori. However, most compensation is paid with money.
