We aspire to live into the relationship that Te Tiriti o Waitangi promises us all. We are tangata tiriti led and acknowledge that we are learning what this means as we continue to grow.
Te Tiriti o Waitangi is a gift. A generous gift because it gave us all a way to call this place home. It is a beautiful promise \u2013 an audacious dream for us to belong and live peacefully with each other, valued for who we are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
it\u2019s always been about the right-ness that comes from people accepting their obligations<\/strong> to each other.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a shared, thriving future, as tangata whenua and tangata tiriti, we are required to recognise that sovereignty was not ceded in Te Tiriti o Waitangi. We can realise the vision of Te Tiriti by upholding the ongoing authority of tangata whenua and advocating for tino rangatiratanga. Through honouring this, we restore, heal and thrive together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
