He Puapua ('A Break') is a 2019 report commissioned by the New Zealand Government to inquire into and report on appropriate measures to achieve the goals set out by the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.[1] The report was conducted by the Ministry of Māori Development who in August 2019 set up a "Declaration Working Group" of four government officials and five non-state representatives. The report was returned to the Māori Development Minister in December 2019, but was not released until the opposition were leaked a copy and made the document public in 2021.[2]
The report gives a roadmap to giving effect to the principles set out in the UN declaration by 2040, the year which marks the 200th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi.[3] The working group's main objective, as set out in the report, was to "recommend a refocus on rangatiratanga Māori" ("Māori self-determination").
He Puapua remained hidden from public view until May 2021, when it was leaked to the opposition National and ACT parties, who subsequently released the report to the public. The report's publication sparked significant controversy and a debate on the constitutional foundation of the country.[4]
Following the 2023 election, the National Party's coalition agreement with New Zealand First included the line item: "Stop all work on He Puapua".[5]
