June 2023

It's been 11 years since the release of Ko Aotearoa Tēnei – a Waitangi Tribunal report into the Wai 262 claim concerning laws and policies that adversely affected Māori culture and identity. The Tribunal noted that “every Crown agency that appeared in our inquiry, and most of those that did not, deals with mātauranga to some extent.”

In May 2021 we sent six questions to the Chief Executives of the 32 government agencies (as listed on the Public Service Commission website).
