Honour Te Tiriti

• Although the Tiriti o Waitangi is often at the centre of controversial debate, in essence, it is quite simple. The overall summary is that Māori never ceded sovereignty.
• Te Tiriti o Waitangi is a sacred covenant between the British Crown and Māori. The agreement reaffirmed Māori authority and sovereignty. It also provided kāwanangatanga (governorship) for the Queen to deal with the lawlessness of the settler population living in Aotearoa at that time.

He Whakaputanga o te Rangatiratanga o Nu Tireni 

The 'Declaration of Independence of the United Tribes of New Zealand'

• The He Whakaputanga or United Tribes flag was created in 1834. It was necessary for Māori to choose a flag so that they could continue to participate in the major trading markets and adhere to navigation laws for ships to operate. 
  
• The flag came to represent the He Whakaputanga Declaration, which is often described as the tuakana to Te Tiriti o Waitangi. It was a declaration to the world that Māori were a sovereign people and an independent state.  This was signed in 1835 at Waitangi and sent to Britain where it was recognised and reaffirmed by King William IV.

Tūrou parea, Tūrou Hawaiki.

May the ancient homeland of Hawaiki glisten on in mind's eye forever 

• Simply translated this whakatauki can be understood as ‘May the force be with you’. Or the full version is, "May the ancient homeland of Hawaiki glisten on in mind's eye forever". The phrase "Tūrou Hawaiki" is commonly used as a kīwaha in everyday speech. Hawaiki is understood to be the place of origin for Māori. In the Far North, we believe that when someone passes on their spirit goes to Rerenga Wairua (Cape Reinga) and enters Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa (Pacific Ocean) to travel back to Hawaiki. This taonga reminds us of heritage, ancestry and identity.
