Description

Beginning with the Treaty of Waitangi, this course looks at significant events and issues in the shaping of contemporary New Zealand society. The course will explore issues ranging from early Pakeha settlement, the Treaty of Waitangi, colonisation, the NZ wars through to Maori activism, Treaty settlements and claims to self-determination.

This course challenges some of the dominant narratives about Māori and engages in Māori understandings and knowledges of the formation of modern Aotearoa/New Zealand Society. It will give you an insight into some contemporary debates and challenges that we as a society experience and work our way through.

There are multiple occurrences of this course - an on-campus (C) occurrence and a distance (D) occurrence. Videos of all lectures are available online, and all assessments are submitted online.
