The Treaty in Tauranga: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

On this 184th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in Tauranga, we invite you to join us for a discussion about what our community thinks about the Treaty today. In recent times the Treaty and its principles have come under intense scrutiny by the coalition government leaving some of us wondering why. This seminar will hopefully provide some answers as we look at the Treaty’s historical background in our city; move forward into contemporary times and the implications for today and then project into the future and what that might look like.

Our panel is made up of local historians Debbie McCauley and Buddy Mikaere; Archbishop Sir David Moxon, iwi leader Charlie Rahiri, Chamber of Commerce head Matt Cowley and community stalwart Simon Beaton.

The venue is at The Elms, Mission Street, Tauranga from 6.30pm this Wednesday, 10 April 2024.
