Te Tiriti o Waitangi Relationships: people, politics and law - Metiria Stanton Turei, Nicola R. Wheen and Janine Hayward (eds)

‘Regardless of upheavals at the highest political level, the narratives and analyses in this book demonstrate that the Treaty relationships built on the ground may continue to develop and persist.'

This is the third volume by leading scholars and researchers in a series discussing the complexities of te Tiriti o Waitangi issues. Together, this group of essays takes a dynamic approach to understanding Tiriti relationships, acknowledging the ever-evolving interplay between the Crown and Māori through time. 

The writers address topics such as Treaty principles, sovereignty, the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and mana whenua relationships to te Tiriti and settlements. The book emphasises the roles of tikanga and rangatiratanga in fostering genuine progress, and envisions a future guided by these principles in advancing Māori-Crown relationships.

This is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of te Tiriti's role in shaping Aotearoa New Zealand's social, political and cultural landscape.
