$42.99Price
This book examines the relationship between the British Crown and Māori authority, with particular focus on He Whakaputanga (1835) and Te Tiriti o Waitangi (1840).
It explores genealogy, sovereignty, and constitutional development, contributing to a deeper understanding of New Zealand’s historical and political foundations.
This research has been formally acknowledged and ARCHIVED IN THE BRITISH MUSEUM in London. Following a review by the Department of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas, this volume was permanently inducted into the British Museum Anthropology Library. It now serves as a primary resource for global scholars.
"An exhibition presenting and explaining the Māori text of the Treaty of Waitangi, as opposed to the British version, is long overdue. It is just a shame that we are not the institution to be able to do so..."
- James Hamill, Curator (Africa, Oceania and the Americas collections), The British Museum.
