So we're coming up to Waitangi Day again, one of the most interesting and exciting days of the year. This year I am home with my very small baby and have a bit of FOMO so I thought I'd get the conversations going here on Twitter.
Particularly for my fellow tangata Tiriti. Have you got any questions about Te Tiriti o Waitangi and how we got to this point as a nation here in 2021? I can help to answer anything from what kind of sheep the Treaty parchment is made of to what happened in the area you live in
There is no question too big or small - no dumb question in other words - when it comes to this complex, fascinating, enraging and uplifting history. If you feel stink about a question just DM me ☺️. I meet a lot of people who say "my kids know more about this stuff than me"
Recently we lost an intellectual giant, Dr Manuka Henare. I believe every day we can get a little bit closer to the kind of justice and inclusion he envisaged and for those of us who are recent arrivals - whether that be in 1810 or 2020 - that starts by learning about Te Tiriti
