NZ MADE/NĀ NIU TĪRENI: Rangitāne o Wairarapa-Tamaki Nui-ā-Rua
The confronting truth of what happened in our recent past is something New Zealanders have to reckon with. When the Treaty of Waitangi was signed, Māori owned more than 66 million acres of land. By 1975, almost 97 per cent had been sold or taken.
Rangitāne was one of the iwi that openly welcomed Pākehā settlers after the Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840, leasing them large tracts of land... but later they were left landless.
Find out more about what happened to Rangitāne o Wairarapa-Tamaki Nui-ā-Rua, where you live, and how much the land was settled for - it may surprise.
