The Treaty of Waitangi

The Treaty of Waitangi is the beginning of the country known as New Zealand and is at the origin of the current dual statedom of Aotearoa/NZ. The discussion around the treaty has been going on for a century and a half, and is today even growing stronger. New Zealand, in its efforts of self-redirection, cannot avoid working this out.

Now you can get a set of three booklets: The Story of the Treaty, The Journey of the Treaty, and Timeline of the Treaty, free from www.treatyofwaitangi.govt.nz. I've already oredered a set.

For anyone who is even tangentially interested in the first-nation issues around the world.
