100 Maranga Mai! 2. Māori, as tangata whenua, and as selfdetermining peoples, have Tiriti o Waitangi-based constitutional and human rights that must be recognised and respected. 3. Reconciliation is a process of healing relationships that requires public truth sharing, apology and commemoration that acknowledge and redress past harm. 4. Reconciliation requires constructive action on addressing the ongoing legacies of colonialism that have had destructive impacts on Māori peoples’ education, cultures and language, health, child welfare, the administration of justice, and economic opportunities and prosperity. 5. Reconciliation must create a more equitable and inclusive society by closing the gaps in social, health, and economic outcomes that exist between Māori and non-Māori. A Tiriti-based constitution These principles of reconciliation would underpin a Tiriti-based constitution and co-governance. Matike Mai Aotearoa offered six possible constitutional configurations in this manner, which give effect to the relationship between rangatiratanga and kāwanatanga as laid out in Te Tiriti (Independent Working Group on Constitutional Transformation, 2018, pp. 104–111). The possible models set out the separate ‘spheres of influence’ of the Crown and Māori in everyday life, with each having the power to determine how affairs are respectively governed and managed in their own domains. The majority of models detail a third ‘relational sphere’, as a site of joint and shared governance between Māori and the Crown “over issues of mutual concern” (Charters et al, 2019, p. 11). This tricameral arrangement is presented below: 6. All tangata tiriti, including Pākehā, Pacific Peoples, and other immigrants, share responsibility for establishing and maintaining mutually beneficial relationships. 7. The perspectives and understandings of kuia and kaumātua, as bridges between the past and present, are vital to long-term reconciliation. 8. Supporting the revitalisation and maintenance of Māori culture, including tikanga, te reo and mātauranga Māori, is essential to reconciliation. 9. Reconciliation requires political will, partnership, trust-building, accountability, transparency, as well as the investment of resources. 10. Reconciliation requires sustained public education and discussion, including youth engagement about the role of colonisation, racism, and white supremacy in Aotearoa, and the intergenerational effects of this for Māori (adapted from Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, 2015, pp. 3–4). Given the centrality of the UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) to this vision, we suggest it be given full effect in law and formally included as part of the constitutional framework of Aotearoa.
