Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi information


Depiction of the signing of the treaty on 6 February 1840

In New Zealand law and politics, the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi (Māori: ngā mātāpono o te tiriti) is a phrase used in the Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975. It is a set of principles derived from, and interpreting, the Treaty of Waitangi. These principles were codified in 1987, partly an attempt to reconcile the different Māori and English language versions of the treaty, and allow the application of the treaty to a contemporary context.[1]

The principles of the treaty are often mentioned in contemporary New Zealand politics.[2]
