HBRW 2025 - Understanding Te Tiriti

Toitoi - Assembly Ballroom, 101 Hastings Street South, Hastings

Human rights lawyer and Te Tiriti educator Roimata Smail’s Understanding Te Tiriti is a little book that has made a big impact. Using accessible language and stunning graphics, the book sets out the differences between Te Tiriti and The Treaty of Waitangi, what happened after 1840, as well what honouring Te Tiriti might mean today. This session is a unique opportunity to hear Roimata’s own presentation on our country’s founding document.
