Summary

The signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840 has profoundly shaped relations between Ma-ori and Pa-keha- in New Zealand from the New Zealand Wars to the 1975 Land March, from Ki-ngitanga to the Waitangi Tribunal, from Te Whiti to Don Brash. Sourced from government publications and newspapers, letters and diaries, poems, songs and cartoons, this book introduces the many voices of that relationship over the past 200 years. The Treaty of Waitangi Companion is an important book for students and general readers alike.
