Te Tiriti o Waitangi is a foundational document for New Zealand.

The Treaty of Waitangi by Claudia Orange was first published in 1987.  The Treaty of Waitangi/Te Tiriti o Waitangi: An Illustrated History is the third edition and the most comprehensive account yet, presented in full colour and drawing on Dr Orange’s recent research into the nine sheets of the Treaty and their signatories.

Māori health development is about the trials and discoveries of the past, the energies and initiatives of the present, and the priorities and plans for the future.

Other topics include the role of missionary medicine in the 1840s and 1850s and Māori health research.

The coalface reality of honouring the Treaty of Waitangi in today’s law, local government, education, health, social services and more. It’s 175 years since the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. At times they’ve been years of conflict and bitterness, but there have also been remarkable gains, and positive changes that have made New Zealand a distinct nation. The Treaty on the Ground takes stock of where we’ve been, where we are headed, and why it matters. Written by some of the country’s leading scholars and experts in the field, it ranges from the impact of the Treaty on everything from resource management to school governance. 

Drawing on examples from Canada and New Zealand, New Treaty New Tradition illustrates how Western legal thought has shaped the claims process, deepening our understanding of treaty work in the former British colonies and providing context for similar work in Canada.

The book suggests ways that indigenous legal traditions can form an important part of reconciliation processes in other parts of the world.
