Overview of Wai 262 Claim

* Known as the flora and fauna claim.
* Seeks rights around indigenous flora and fauna and other taonga.
* Taonga includes traditional knowledge and intellectual property rights over cultural ideas, design, language and much more.
* Legislation is said to breach the Treaty of Waitangi in this respect.
* Claimants also say the Crown has breached the Treaty by failing to protect tino rangatiratanga (sovereignty) and kaitiakitanga (guardianship) over flora, fauna and other taonga.
* Last year the Waitangi Tribunal released a chapter of its report on Wai 262, finding Te Reo Maori to be nearly at crisis point.
* The Tribunal will release the complete wai 262 report at Roma Marae in Ahipara on the 2nd July 2011.
