What's all the fuss about?
There's a looooot of information out there. It can be hard to know where to start. Here are some links and ideas to help. Remember: Being knowledgeable about the treaty is the icing. Make sure you have plenty of cake first!
Knowing about the details of the treaty is helpful only if you have also put time and courage into understanding your own cultural identity, the role of privilege in our lives and Māori world views. Keep asking yourself: How will I personally apply the information I'm learning on a daily basis?
This is about standing together. Not about how clever we might be as an individual. Our national song sums it up:
*Make sure you have the 'Secret Sauce' for this section. See the 'Secret Sauce' section in 'What can I do?'
Tūtira mai ngā Iwi (an English translation)
Line up together people
All of us, all of us
Stand in rows people
All of us, all of us
Seek after knowledge
and love of others - everyone
Think as one
Act as one
All of us, all of us
All of us, All of us!!
Hi aue hei !!!

What Are We Aiming For? This version is from Twitter

A child's experience of racism
"One day, I was in my science class. Me and my two other friends, we were just playing around my teacher got mad then she called another teacher and all of the sudden she only pointed on me not my friends because they weren’t black and that really broke my heart and I started crying." (Mokopuna, aged 11-13, Rural Waikato) From Manamokopuna
"Educating all generations on racism and its effects." (Mokopuna, Secondary School age, Ōtautahi) From Educational Solutions? in Manamokopuna
I'm a paragraph. Click here to add your own text and edit me. It's easy."For people in government: Actually listen + know what it [racism] means. Don’t just take ideas, act upon it." (Mokopuna, aged 12-16, Ōtepoti) From Manamokopuna
