This is the Treaty Book Project ORDER PAGE
As a public good project, the NZCPR is publishing and distributing to New Zealand households as many free copies of the English translation of Sir Apirana Ngata’s 1922 “The Treaty of Waitangi: an explanation” as funding allows.
The great Maori leader and Member of Parliament Sir Apirana Ngata wrote an explanation of the Treaty in the Maori language in 1922, in response to ongoing questions about the meaning of Treaty.
Forty-one years later, with questions remaining, the book was translated into English and distributed free of charge to Maori households as an insert in a government magazine.
Another forty years on, with the debate continuing, we are distributing Sir Apirana’s explanation of the Treaty’s original meaning to Kiwi households.
And who better to bring some clarity into the Treaty debate than one of New Zealand’s most respected Maori leaders – the man who appears on our fifty-dollar bank note!
The book is being printed as a quality newspaper insert for distribution into over a million households.
An A5 version of the booklet has also been printed for libraries and selected schools. Extra copies are available on request.
Below is the order form for the A5 booklet.
