The Treaty of Waitangi : Te Tiriti o Waitangi : The NZ Series

In The Treaty of Waitangi, Ross Calman outlines the impact of the Treaty from early contact between Maori and European settlers and signing around the country through to its revitalisation in the twentieth century, the formation of the Waitangi Tribunal and the present-day debates about its place at the centre of political and cultural life.

Extensive illustrations, photos and fact boxes examine New Zealand’s founding document from a range of viewpoints, and highlight the importance of Te Tiriti as a key to understanding the nation’s past, present and future.

This eighth book in The NZ Series, further extends Oratia’s NZ Series, a non-fiction resource for general readers and schools, introducing complex subjects in concise terms.
