E oho! The principles of the Treaty flow from its words

E oho! Join Dr Carwyn Jones (Ngāti Kahungunu) as he examines the concept of ‘the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi’, specifically where the concept comes from and how the principles relate to the text of Te Tiriti. What are the limitations of using the ‘principles’ as opposed to the text of Te Tiriti o Waitangi itself?

The Treaty principles in context

In this talk, Carwyn Jones will trace how the ‘Treaty principles’ have been defined and applied in law and policy over the past 50 years. Exactly what the principles of the Treaty are, and how they operate within our legal and constitutional system, is important to understand.

Dr Carwyn Jones (Ngāti Kahungunu) is Kaihautū (Director) of Te Whare Whakatupu Mātauranga at Te Wānanga o Raukawa and teaches in the Ahunga Tikanga (Māori Laws and Philosophy) programme there. He is an Honorary Adjunct Professor in Te Kawa a Māui (the School of Māori Studies) at Te Herenga Waka Victoria University of Wellington and a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand Te Apārangi.
