About the Taonga Edition

Created to celebrate two years of a book that has helped thousands of New Zealanders finally understand what was agreed in te Tiriti—and why it still matters—the Taonga Edition contains the same clear, factual and empowering explanation in a beautiful hardcover format.

Expanded to 60 pages, it includes the TKP framework designed by Noelle Jakeman: a visual guide to the three central principles of te Tiriti—Tino Rangatiratanga, Kāwanatanga and Partnership.

Original artwork by Noelle Jakeman and artbyngawai, with design by Sarah Healey, makes this a genuinely beautiful book to keep or give as a gift. Finished in pounamu green and pāua blue, it is a taonga in every sense.

Inside the book, you will learn:

• What Aotearoa looked like before 1840
• What was promised in te Tiriti in te reo Māori
• How the English Treaty document differed—and why that matters
• How Māori land loss unfolded across generations
• What tino rangatiratanga looks like today
• How te Tiriti continues to shape Aotearoa
• How the TKP framework connects Tino Rangatiratanga, Kāwanatanga and Partnership

Why bundle?

The course and book are designed to complement each other. The course builds your foundation through clear, guided learning. The Taonga Edition deepens and reinforces that understanding, while giving you a lasting resource to keep close at hand.

Many learners find that reading the book alongside or after the course helps the material settle and gives them greater confidence to take part in conversations about te Tiriti.

The bundle is available at a discounted price compared with purchasing the course and Taonga Edition separately.
