It seems 'our people' aren't all inclusive when it comes to sharing with their own... reading the article it seems that is the issue is that the two tribes have to share the land/settlement deal.
Only in NZ could you occupy an airport, light fires, sieze a fuel truck as part of political demands and not be called terrorists....
Can you imagine this happening in the states... they'd be a couple of A-10s strafing the place about 5mins after first 911 call. I bet Obamas on the phone to Keys offering to send a carrier battle group over to disperse them....
I'm all for settling greivances and many tribes got bad deal under the original treaty or weren't signatories to it but this type of action accomplishes nothing for them and only scares away investors that might bring new jobs and industry to the region.
