Description

This course uses the Treaty of Waitangi to frame examinations of contemporary New Zealand society. We ask questions designed to highlight and emphasise the relevance of the Treaty of Waitangi to everyday New Zealanders. In addition, the course looks at the importance of this document in the maintenance of Crown and Maori relations. Topics covered range from the signing of the Treaty, and historical developments, to the protest movements and activism of the continuing Maori renaissance period, race relations and one law-for-all.

Not only is Maori and Indigenous Studies one of the areas of study that are central to understanding life in modern Aotearoa/New Zealand society it provides you with knowledge and a set of skills that are increasingly important to employers; both from within the government and private sectors.
