Reaching agreement on the meaning and 'spirit' of the Treaty of Waitangi, New Zealand's founding document, has led to fierce debate and violent conflict between European settlers and Maoris since its signing in 1840 until the present day. This program examines the events leading up the signing, consequences of the signing, the key points of difference in the two versions of the treaty, the treaty in the twentieth century, and the founding of the Waitangi Tribunal. This program is an excellent resource for students of New Zealand history, culture related and indigenous rights studies.
