Tangata Tiriti – Treaty People
The Tangata Tiriti – Treaty People full-day workshop about the Treaty of Waitangi is appropriate for service providers, community participants, Board members, newcomers to Aotearoa New Zealand. The workshop takes an ‘informed citizen’ approach to the treaty, which is applicable to community and social services as well as to community participation and governance.
Non Māori participants consistently report that the workshop gives them a very full understanding of the Treaty historically, and implications for working with Māori today. Newcomers particularly appreciate the background to the Māori-Pākehā relationship, and hearing that they are welcomed through the Treaty. Māori participants report that they appreciate the focus on the Māori text of the treaty, the rich information about hapū history, and the review of colonisation. |
