Description
"[This report] concerns the British undertaking in the Treaty of Waitangi to respect the 'tino rangatiratanga' of Maori chiefs, hapu and 'tangata katoa' over their land, kainga and other taonga. A great many of the 650 and more claims by Maori to the Waitangi Tribunal under the Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975 and its amendments refer to the failure of the Crown to respect and uphold tino rangatiratanga, asserting indeed that the Crown deliberately undermined it in its drive to secure land for Pakeha settlement. Vincent O'Malley's study ... is important because it gives a range of insights into many of the ways by which Maori themselves tried to express tino rangatiratanga, and to secure the Crown's recognition of those endeavours"--Foreword.
