AUTHOR TALK: Vincent O'Malley & Bruce Stirling - The Treaty of Waitangi

Weaving together voices, documents and images from centuries of cooperation, conflict and change, The Treaty of Waitangi Companion ranges from first contact between Maori and Europeans to today’s debates over the place of te Tiriti o Waitangi in our constitutional arrangements.
Rather than offering a single narrative, Vincent O’Malley and Bruce Stirling bring readers close to the historical record itself.
