More DescriptionTe Mana O Te Tiriti is a text which is ideally suited to the new Social Studies curriculum. The Treaty of Waitangi signed in 1840 is the subject of much discussion, writing and debate. Europeans are often surprised by the interest. Maori are not surprised because for them this has always been a living treaty that documents the rights agreed last century. This book looks at the main events and thinking that led up to and beyond the treaty and is therefore very relevant in discussions of nationhood and the future of New Zealand. The content and the exercises for students provide a wide variety of material which cover the multicultural, gender and current issue perspectives and are consistent with the three Processes identified in the new curriculum, namely: - Inquiry - Values Exploration - Social Decision making.
