Indigenous rights - not in my country damn it!

The United Nations General Assembly has overwhelmingly passed the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Four countries opposed it; Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States. Now what could possibly connect these four countries? (Hint: it starts with geno-...)

If only the Native Americans, Australian Aborigines and the Maoris had taken a stronger, anti-illegal immigrant stanch sooner, well things sure would have been different. Perhaps they should have built a fence or something.
