A Handbook for Understanding Te Tiriti o Waitangi

Most of us were never taught what Te Tiriti really promised. Understanding Te Tiriti is a simple, factual, and empowering guide that helps Aotearoa learn what was actually agreed and why it still matters today.

✔ Explains the key differences between Te Tiriti (in Māori) and the English document
✔ Shows how those differences have shaped Aotearoa since 1840
✔ Grounded in evidence, not politics or opinion
✔ Used by schools, councils and organisations across Aotearoa

Whether you are starting your learning journey or deepening your understanding, this handbook gives you the clarity, context and confidence to take part in the conversation.
