Begins with an overview of the Doctrine of Discovery which remains the authority by which Aotearoa was first colonised. It discusses the significance of foundational constitutional documents, He Whakaputanga o Nu Tireni | The Declaration of Independence (He Whakaputanga) and Te Tiriti o Waitangi (Te Tiriti). The analysis examines the status of Te Tiriti under international law and why Te Tiriti, the te reo version, is regarded as the principal text. The section also outlines the three key principles of anti-racism necessary for New Zealanders to understand and eliminate racism. They start with the need for telling the truth about racism in Aotearoa, healing and reconciliation, and finally the government and settler society taking anti-racism actions and delivering justice and constitutional reform for tangata whenua. Tirohanga Whānui | Overview of colonisation: Provides context and a brief overview of the impacts of colonisation over the 182-year colonial history of Aotearoa – the loss of Māori land, war, political, cultural and identity marginalisation, the destruction of whānau, and unjust legislation. This narrative history is further expanded in Chapters 1-8. Te Ūpoko Tuarua | Part Two Part Two: Renews the call for restoring Te Tiriti to its rightful place, enabling tino rangatiratanga for Māori, and constitutional reform and co-governance. It contains the main body of the report which includes the following chapters and related secondary recommendations. Chapter 1: Kaikiritanga | Colonisation, Doctrine of Discovery, racism and white supremacy: Charts a harrowing 182-year narrative history of the impact that colonisation, the Doctrine of Discovery, racism and white supremacy has had on tangata whenua, including the forcible taking of Māori lands and resources. Colonisation was essentially an economic project led by the Crown. New Zealand was colonised by the British Crown under the authority of the Doctrine of Discovery. The doctrine and other Papal Bull decrees provided the rationale for the conquest, colonisation and subjugation of Indigenous peoples and the seizure of their lands. The doctrine is still recognised under international law and underpins the position of the New Zealand government and its legislation. The chapter chronicles how the Crown has consistently eroded the tino rangatiratanga of iwi, hapū and whānau and undermined the agreement – Te Tiriti – rangatira signed in 1840. Central to this has been the dispossession of Māori land through force and law, triggering untold impoverishment for generations of Māori. The cumulative effect has been that the freedom of Māori to design and imagine their own destinies was severely restricted through the machinations of law, policy and Crown violence.
