First Peoples of Oceania

First peoples are the original people of a region. They have developed their own culture, traditions, laws and ways of life over thousands of years. Three groups of first peoples of Oceania are introduced in this intriguing book: Aboriginal Peoples of Australia, Papuans of New Guinea, and Maori of New Zealand. First-hand accounts from elders in these cultures are presented and extracts from the UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples assist understanding of how first people live and how their lifestyles are changing.
