Notes
1. Aotearoa is the Māori word widely used to refer to the land known in English as New Zealand. Often Māori and English versions are used together.
2. Māori are the first peoples of Aotearoa New Zealand.
3. The Treaty of Waitangi, which was signed initially in 1840 by the New Zealand governor and 40 Māori chiefs (and later by 500 Māori), was an attempt to establish a system of property rights with the Crown controlling and overseeing land sale. However, the English and Māori language versions of the Treaty differ significantly. Māori chiefs signed a Māori language version of the Treaty that did not accurately reflect the English language version, and so there is no consensus as to exactly what was agreed.
4. Pākeha is the identity signifier initially used by Māori for British settlers.
