"The Terms of Reference given to the Working Group were deliberately broad – “To develop and implement a model for an inclusive Constitution for Aotearoa based on tikanga and kawa, He Whakaputanga o te Rangatiratanga o Niu Tireni of 1835, Te Tiriti o Waitangi of 1840, and other indigenous human rights instruments which enjoy a wide degree of international recognition”. [...] The Working Group also invited written submissions, organised focus groups, and conducted one-on-one interviews. The views we received canvassed a number of topics such as the relationship between Te Tiriti and democracy, what is meant by a treaty relationship, what is a constitution, and other related issues such as – - The meaning of tikanga and its constitutional relevance. - The relationship between the Hapū referred to in Te Tiriti and the current Crown policy emphasis on Iwi. - The effects of increasing immigration on the Tiriti relationship. - The ongoing implications of the emigration of our people overseas. - How to engage with others to progress the kaupapa.
