This accessible primer on the Treaty of Waitangi takes a fresh look at the treaty's origins, history, and meanings. Relations between the Europeans, Maori, and Pakeha are traced from the earliest years of European settlement to the signing of the treaty in 1840, through the land wars of the 1860s, and on to the present century. Discussed is the treaty's increasing importance as the Maori strive for autonomy and the Pakeha have begun to critically examine their history.

An Honest Treaty Treatment,
By
This review is from: The Story of a Treaty (Paperback)
Claudia Orange grasps the sense of a displaced people in her book about the Maori after the Treaty of Waitunga. Unlike some other authors, who paint a sugar-coated view of the aboriginals, Ms. Orange tells it like it is. There has been an injustice over the history of New Zealand, and it still needs to be resolved. This author seems to want to set forth the facts, and enlightened viewpoint from a nation of people whose authors seem only to want to protect the staus-quo. I look forward to studying other books by Claudia Orange as I prepare my novel manuscript about a protgonist Maori who rises to great prominence so that he can help return his homeland to its rightful owners.Dr. Gerald Menefee
