This post is inspired by a reader and an old friend,VampireM on giving some links that I find helpful for interview on the topic of ‘The Treaty of Waitangi’.
- Frequently asked questions of the Treaty
- Story: Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi
- What the Treaty Means Today
- Introduction of the Treaty for Migrants
- The Treaty in Brief
In a nutshell, The Treaty is a reminder of what had happened in the past (the colonised and the colonisers) and it is used as a guideline to promote social harmony, partnership, mutual respect, self-determination in everyone, equality, independence (freedom and choice) and cultural understanding.
It is important to know the Treaty if you do decide to live in New Zealand because the treaty is not merely just a part of history but it gives a greater understanding to the New Zealand that we are living in today.
I hope the above links would help you in understanding slightly
more about the Treaty of Waitangi.
