29 April in Te Whanganui a Tara: The signing of Te Tiriti o Waitangi
Many of us who live in Te Whanganui a Tara enjoy the beauty of the harbour. When you experience it today, we invite you to imagine it on 29 April 1840. This is the day that Te Tiriti o Waitangi was signed here.
Te Tiriti is a powerful unifying document for local communities and for Aotearoa. It provides belonging for us all and responsibilities to listen to our histories, respect and enhance local relationships, and together create a city that we are all proud of.
Nau mai, haere mai.
