15 Racism and white supremacy are examined alongside the myth of Aotearoa having the ‘best race relations in the world’. The Crown and settler society has continued to deny and downplay the racism that occurs against tangata whenua. The practices of strategic amnesia, assimilation, cultural tokenism, the concepts of biculturalism and multiculturalism, and the over-homogenisation of Māori and Pacific peoples are also reviewed. Secondary recommendations include actions to embed Te Tiriti, the decolonisation of central and local government alongside key sectors, and the development of an antiracism strategy and measurement index. Chapter 2: Ka Takahi | Treaty making and treaty breaking: Describes the significance of the constitutional foundational documents He Whakaputanga and Te Tiriti. It outlines the signing of the two versions of Te Tiriti (te reo version) and the Treaty (English version) and how decades of unjust legislation and war undermined Māori selfdetermination leading to political marginalisation, the alienation of Māori land and cultural identity, intergenerational impoverishment, and racism. Secondary recommendations include broadening the mandate of the Waitangi Tribunal to make its recommendations binding on the Crown, restoration of tino rangatiratanga so Māori landowners have control over their whenua, review the rates system for Māori land and expunging rates on the five percent of land still under Māori ownership. Establish a Te Tiriti Whenua Māori Authority to improve systems to help Māori develop their whenua. Chapter 3: Ngā Hikoi | Māori renaissance protests: Examines the contribution of the Māori renaissance protest movement in seeking justice and selfdetermination for Māori in Aotearoa. Born of alienation and urbanisation, often very young Māori leaders rose up in organisations like Te Hōkioi, the Māori Organisation on Human Rights (MOOHR) and Ngā Tamatoa to lead protests against rugby tours with South Africa, the loss of te reo Māori, injustice over land, and racism. The chapter traces the contribution of protests for equal human rights for tangata whenua and Mana Motuhake, including at Waitangi, the Māori Human Rights Commission land march, Raglan Golf Course, Takaparawhā | Bastion Point, He Taua, Te Hikoi ki Waitangi, the 1990 Sesquicentennial Celebrations, reaction to the fiscal envelope and foreshore and seabed legislation, local body representation, Te Mana Motuhake o Tūhoe, and the more recent Ihumātao land protest. Chapter 4: Mātauranga | Impact of colonisation and racism on education: Overviews the impact of racism on Māori in the Western school system and the inequities and harm this has caused. It details how the Crown used colonisation and legislation to structure education to alienate Māori identity, te reo and culture, and to train young Māori to become manual and domestic workers. Contemporary issues in education are also canvassed, such as, the use of deficit education models, the mispronunciation of Māori names and use of nick names for Māori students, racism in schooling, and the low expectations the education system has for ākonga. The main secondary recommendation is to establish a stand-alone Māori Education Authority to undertake a Tiriti-based legislative and policy review of education to strengthen tino rangatiratanga and enable tangata whenua to regain mana motuhake over the education of Māori, education systems and ākonga. Others include strengthening kaupapa Māori and wananga education; the development of a sector-wide, Tiritibased, anti-racism curriculum; and training of educators to understand how racism affects Māori. Chapter 5: Hauora | Impact of colonisation and racism on health: Describes how colonisation and racism undermined tangata whenua health and wellbeing leading to the social collapse and rising mortality rate of Māori in the late nineteenth century. The chapter tracks the cumulative legacy of the barriers that racism constructed for Māori in contemporary health care and stresses the importance of replacing these structures with ‘for Māori by Māori’ kaupapa and Tiriti-based approaches to improve health outcomes and reduce inequities. Secondary recommendations support the new Māori Health Authority to achieve improved and equitable outcomes for Māori; that the Authority
