In this episode of Treaty Talks, Dr. Ella Henry (Ngātikahu ki Whangaroa, Ngāti Kuri, Te Rārawa) shares her insights on the history, resilience, and future of Māori. She deconstructs the myths and misconceptions surrounding life before Pākeha arrival, highlighting the sophisticated scientific knowledge and governance structures of Māori. Ella passionately advocates for the reclamation of Māori narratives and the importance of understanding the true nature of the Treaty of Waitangi.
