Pukehinahina Summer Lecture Series 2023 - Treaty of Waitangi: He Tatau Pounamu
Each year we offer free lectures to help the community understand our city's history and how it shapes our present. This year we are offering three lectures.
The second lecture will be on Treaty of Waitangi: He Tatau Pounamu with Dr. Alistair Reese.
