This book should be read by all New Zealanders to help understand our history from as far back as 1769. This graphic novel explains this simply in three parts:

1: Before Te Tiriti (The Treaty)

2: Te Tiriti o Waitangi (The Treaty of Waitangi)

3: After Te Tiriti

Miscommunications, misunderstandings and translations that occurred and the NZ Wars that followed, are addressed in clear text and illustrations. The Treaty is a huge part of our history and we all need to know the truth behind it.

Not only does it have an added timeline in graphic format, a QR code or URL to read the Treaty in 32 different languages, and a map in the centre of the book showing where the Treaty was signed, if you flip the book over you will find the same story in te reo.

Simple, clear and incredibly informative. An absolute must for every Kiwi.
