Treaty Partnership

In the words of Taika Waititi, New Zealand is racist as f***. In this episode, Alice is joined by Billy T winner Kura Forrester (Ngāti Porou) to assess how well we are honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi in 2020. The pair meet Hone Harawira (Ngāti Hau, Ngāti Wai, Ngāti Hine, Aupouri, Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Whatua) to talk about the ongoing trauma of colonisation, and how the government is continuing to fail Treaty obligations. Ex-Race Relations Commissioner Dame Susan Devoy reveals the hypocrisy in not having a single Māori person on the Human Rights Commission, before taking to the squash courts. Return appearances from Alice’s Dad Pat, Janell Dymus-Kurei (Te Whakatōhea) and Julia Whaipooti (Ngāti Porou) underscore the importance of historical literacy. Because what really is this Pākehā culture that so many are fighting so hard to protect?​
