Te Tiriti Online: From confused to confident with Roimata Smail

From confused to confident with Te Tiriti

In just 9 practical modules, you’ll move beyond myths, misinformation, and uncertainty into a confident understanding of what was agreed in Te Tiriti and why it matters right now in Aotearoa.

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 it 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.
