In NZ Māori could vote from the first election on. They've always been on equal footing with the white man legally (if not socially), they could vote in NZ more than one hundred years before non white suffrage was finally enforced across the US. And as you said there is a tribunal that redresses historic issues with Iwi. Maori also get special seats in parliament, the Te Reo language and Maori culture is a big part of NZ (Aotearoa) culture and our way of life, and there is a lot of state funded help to try and bring the racial inequalities in line. A lot of the problems are what we see all around the world, and are hard to sort out. The towns that Māori live in are often small towns where there is not a lot of employment, if they live in the cities they are often disenfranchised and have a lack of cultural support.
