The New Zealand Centre for Political Research has posted on-line Sir Apirana Ngata’s explanation of the Maori version of the Treaty of Waitangi that he wrote in 1922, long before Maori sovereignty activists had become radicalised and began re-inventing the Treaty. The booklet, The Treaty of Waitangi, was published by the Maori Purposes Fund Board and distributed to all Maori families.

If this book was widely available to New Zealand families, it would counter the Treaty ‘partnership’ fiction, which is being used by the tribal elite not only to gain power and public resources, but to indoctrinate children in schools.

Accordingly, the NZCPR has now launched our Big Idea Treaty book project, to raise money to publish Sir Apirana Ngata’s book and distribute it as far as possible around New Zealand.

Of course, this government won’t contribute a cent so donors are needed. Read more about the project here
