117 Appendix Two Human Rights Commission Chronology of racist acts, legislation, and events from contact to the end of the twentieth century This timeline outlines the watershed events, actions, and legislation that introduced, strengthened, and entrenched colonisation, racism and white supremacy in Aotearoa, to the detriment of Māori. This is not an exhaustive list. Whereas many people have listed legislation that breach Te Tiriti o Waitangi guarantees, this section combines key legislation with events, actions, or responses that make up the colonial experience. Our other intention is to depict how everything within the colonial experience was entwined with nothing happening in isolation. This means iwi (still) deal with several crises at the same time, on different fronts. This is often forgotten when publications refer to isolated events (eg, looking only at Te Tiriti, or only at events in education).
