"Te Tiriti remains a beacon of hope – a reminder that unity and respect are possible even in the face of adversity.

As we gather this Waitangi Day, let us remember that Te Tiriti is not just a historical artefact made by Māori but that it belongs to all of us.

It calls us to learn, to celebrate, and to act.

Te Tiriti belongs to all New Zealanders.

This Waitangi Day, we must commit to its promise"

Quoted by Rawiri Waititi, in a recent article published by the Nz Hearld.
