Problem:WELLINGTON, New Zealand—It isn't uncommon for indigenous groups to claim rights to a nation's raw materials. In New Zealand, Maori tribes are asserting ownership of a much more unusual resource: Radio waves. 
  
 According to New Zealand's first people, the government doesn't have the authority to auction off spectrum valued at up to 400 million New Zealand dollars (US$314 million)--earmarked for so-called fourth-generation services—because Britain guaranteed the rights of unspecified national resources to Maori in a landmark 173-year-old treaty. 
  
 Maori say that makes the spectrum their rightful property, even though the pact predates the invention of the radio by several decades. The dispute threatens to delay New Zealand's rollout of 4G technology at a time when demand for faster mobile-broadband services is rising rapidly. The government had planned to auction the spectrum in September or October. 
  
 Antony Royal, a spokesman for the claimants, said Maori wanted to play a role in deciding who uses the spectrum, how it is allocated and to ensure Maori have access to it. 
  
 "What we need to do is figure how in the spirit of partnership we will manage this on an continuing basis," he said. 
  
 It comes as indigenous groups around the world seek a greater share of the spoils from asset sales. In the U.S., which has more than 2 million Native Americans and 565 recognized Indian tribes, lawsuits have occasionally followed the sale of mineral rights during a boom in shale-oil production. Several world leaders, including Bolivia's Evo Morales and Ecuador's Rafael Correa, rely on support among their countries' indigenous population to stay in power. 
  
 For many New Zealanders, the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi is a document of national importance on a par with the U.S. Declaration of Independence. It lays down basic principles for relations between the nation's European settlers and Maori tribes that have helped New Zealand largely avoid the kind of fierce independence struggles faced elsewhere in the British Empire. 
  
 Still, the treaty has long made for thorny politics in New Zealand. While it guaranteed Maori ownership and control of "taonga," or treasure and precious things, it never stated what those were. Maori say the 700 MHz spectrum qualifies, but ministers disagree. 
  
 "The government doesn't accept that radio spectrum is a taonga," said Amy Adams, New Zealand's minister responsible for telecommunications. 
  
 It isn't the first time Maori and Wellington have sparred over asset sales. Earlier this year, a court ruled that the government's plan to raise more than NZ$1.5 billion from the sale of a minority stake in Mighty River Power Ltd., which generates renewable energy, didn't breach the Treaty of Waitangi as Maori had claimed. 
  
 Maori also failed to stop the government auctioning spectrum licenses in 1999. 
  
 For the administration of Prime Minister John Key, the issue is even more politically sensitive because the government relies on the smaller Maori Party to stay in power. There are more than 565,000 Maori in New Zealand, about 10% of the population, and they tend to have lower incomes and poorer housing. 
  
 Matthew Palmer of Thorndon Chambers, a legal expert on the Treaty of Waitangi, said a hearing of the Maori claim may push the spectrum auction back by as much as a year. Maori representatives have already lodged a claim at the Waitangi Tribunal, a commission set up to deal with their grievances. 
  
 While a ruling by the tribunal isn't binding, Mr. Palmer said the government would be unwise to dismiss it out of hand. 
  
 "It is essentially about political pressure," he said.

 The Government has got itself into another row with Maori over a resource it wants to sell off. 
  
 This time it’s not water, but the radio waves. 
  
 It’s refused to give Maori claimants shares in the upcoming auction of the 4G network, in a decision Maori Party co-leader Tariana Turia has compared to the land grabs of 170 years ago. 
  
 The iPhone 5 runs on 4G, which is the next-generation radio spectrum for wireless broadband that's about to become available. 
  
 It will be up to 10 times faster than today's speeds. 
  
 Some Maori groups say the radio waves are a taonga, or treasure, and they deserve a share. 
  
 “They've been very clear that the spectrum is a taonga, and we have a difference of opinion on that,” says Communications Minister Amy Adams. 
  
 The claimants wanted to get shares in the spectrum, but the Government decided that's a no-go, and its governing partner - the Maori Party - isn't happy. 
  
 “The days when the Government can continue to take resources that were here before Pakeha were established in this country - I think those days are fast coming to an end,” says Ms Turia. 
  
 The 4G network will generate $2.4 billion over 20 years. There will be no shares for Maori claimants; instead they will receive an offer of a $30 million information technology fund. 
  
 And the Government says claimants should be excited by that. 
  
 “There's some really exciting ways at how we can transition Maori language and culture into the modern digital world,” says Ms Adams. 
  
 But Ms Turia isn't excited at all. She says the $30 million offer is a disgrace, akin to the beads and blankets early Maori traded land away for. 
  
 “We're back to the beads and blankets days,” she says. 
  
 Ms Turia has called for claimants to go back and challenge the move at the Waitangi tribunal. 
  
 So just like with the water claim related to asset sales, Maori claimants wanted shares in the radio waves as it was sold off. But just like with water, the Government didn't want a bar of that. The Maori Party is once again angry with John Key and National, but once again it’s yet to be seen if they will do anything about it.

Solution:
New Zealand hopes to roll out 4G technology across the nation this fall, but an unusual legal dispute is threatening to force a long delay: The indigenous Maori tribes have claimed ownership of New Zealand's radio waves, reports the Wall Street Journal. If the claim is true, that means the government has no authority to auction off spectrum necessary for the upgrade. The Maori base their case on a treaty in which the government gave them the rights to "taonga"—loosely defined as treasure. That treaty, however, was signed in 1840, long before anyone even thought of something called a radio. "The government doesn't accept that radio spectrum is a taonga," says a government official. But the Journal quotes a legal expert on the treaty who says 4G might have to wait another year because of the fight.
