I'm not sure that's the right question, since Mauritius was one of the earliest areas to be colonized and had been so since the 1500's.

"Mauritius" has no native population. The people there are the descendents (presumably) of early slaves and folks who were growing sugar and what not that Dutch IIRC and the Brits brought in.

The anti-colonial laws are a stretch. They're meant to cover places like India, French Indochina and other spots that obviously had a native population when the Colonial powers took them over. Mauritius has none of that.
