Te Tiriti Online (Early bird price now)

A calm, confidence-building introduction to te Tiriti o Waitangi

Te Tiriti Online is a clear, thoughtful introduction to what was agreed in te Tiriti o Waitangi and why it continues to matter for all of us in Aotearoa today.

Created by lawyer, educator, and author Roimata Smail, this course brings together two decades of working on cases about te Tiriti and a decade teaching te Tiriti in ways that are factual, respectful, and accessible. It builds on the same gentle, evidence-based approach that made Understanding Te Tiriti a number-one New Zealand bestseller, and her in-person workshops trusted by organisations, councils, schools, libraries, and community groups across the country.

If you’ve ever thought “I should really understand te Tiriti”, but were never properly taught, this course is designed for you. It offers clarity without overwhelm, and confidence without confrontation.  It is aimed at beginners so no-one is left behind, but even if you have learned about te Tiriti before

In this course, you’ll learn:

• What Aotearoa looked like from discovery to 1840
• What was promised in te Tiriti (in te reo Māori) and agreed with Māori
• How the English “Treaty” document differed
• How land loss occurred across generations
• What tino rangatiratanga looks like today
• How te Tiriti continues to shape Aotearoa now

The course uses evidence and plain-language explanations to inform.

How the course works

Te Tiriti Online is organised into 9 short modules, each with a focused video of less than 10 minutes. This structure is designed to make the learning approachable and easy to return to.

The course includes:

• 9 short video modules presented by Roimata
• Recaps of key points
• Quizzes to reinforce understanding
• Selected further reading for those who want to go deeper
• A prompt and space to write a reflection at the end in your own words
• A certificate of completion, for example as evidence for professional development

Most learners complete the course in around 1.5-2 hours or longer if they choose to go deeper into the further reading and reflection writing.
