Tino Rangatiratanga in the 1990s - potential for alliances | Kelsey, Jane | "Discusses the shift in Pakeha thinking and understanding of the Treaty, which has occurred over the past decade. Backgrounds the involvement of Pakeha in the anti-racism struggle in the 1970s and early 1980s. Argues that Pakeha need to rethink their role and attitudes in relation to the Treaty. Suggests that a disciplined and systematic analysis of all aspects of the Treaty debate is needed to identify cultural barriers and to exercise 'tino rangatiratanga', sovereignty. Talks about biculturalism, the understanding of the future direction of the economy, the Maori dynamic and complex interaction of gender, class and culture with Tauiwi, colonisers." | ||

Tino Rangatiratanga - A public questions occasional paper | Conference of Churches in Aotearoa New Zealand | This paper understands Tino Rangatiratanga as central to Maori understanding of the Treaty of Waitangi. Tino Rangatiratanga stands in contrast to kawantanga which Maori have always seen as giving limited power to the Crown. The booklet explores Government policy, legislation and the action of the Court in relation to Tino Rangatiratanga, and makes an argument for constitutional reform that places Tino Rangatiratanga and the Treaty at the heart of the matter. |
