Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi

The Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi (in Māori: ngā mātāpono o te tiriti), in New Zealand law and politics, are a set of principles derived from, and interpreting, the Treaty of Waitangi. They are partly an attempt to reconcile the different te reo Māori and English language versions of the Treaty, and allow the application of the Treaty to a contemporary context. The principles of the Treaty are often mentioned in contemporary New Zealand politics. rdf:langString
