He Whakaputanga

Event recording from 15 February 2018.
Independence was a powerful assertion of mana and rangatiratanga. Signed by fifty-two rangatira between 1835 and 1839, He Whakaputanga o te Rangatiratanga o Nu Tireni was followed by Te Tiriti o Waitangi in 1840. In this conversation, Dame Claudia Orange and Morgan Godfery will discuss these two iconic documents with chair Carwyn Jones. Speaking to the history of these documents over nearly two centuries, the panel will also reflect on their significance in twenty-first century New Zealand.
