Well, New Zealand was obliged by the original treaties the British signed with the Maori peoples to vote against the bill. I believe Canada was also required to also do so given the modern treaties it signed.

There are no indigenous people left in the USA. They died out with the cowboys, dontcha know.

And, as far as I can tell, the current Australian government is against granting any of its inhabitants any rights (unless the either earn over a certain amount or a members of certain political parties).

Although I was surprised that Mexico voted for the UN resolution. I think the indigenous rebellion's reply to the government's demand that they surrender is the finest such reply I have ever encountered.

not that it's necessarily honoured those treaties otherwise O.o

afaik, canadian peoples have been granted many of the rights that are recognised in the treaty. but i could be wrong. not a strong point of mine for some time.

*smirk*

the current Australian government is against granting

the above is enough. they don't like giving anything. to anyone. sell, sure. give ... not so much. even if it's already theirs.

regarding mexico: are you referring to the zapatistas, or am i confused again?
