Our resources are available in the following languages
For each language you can download:
- An A3 poster of a summary of Te Tiriti o Waitangi (the key points from the Māori text).
- An A4 handout of a summary of Te Tiriti o Waitangi (the same key points from the Māori text).
- An A4 handout comparing the wording of original Māori text with the English document (again, in summary).
