Publication details

Tawhai, V. M. H. and K. Gray-Sharp (Eds). ‘Always Speaking’: The Treaty of Waitangi and Public Policy. Wellington, Huia Publishers, 2011.

About the book

Always speaking offers seventeen chapters, by different contributors, each adopting slightly different approaches, but together the book illustrates some common themes of the tensions and dynamics in the relationship between Māori and the Crown. The policy areas covered span the environment, Māori and social development, health, broadcasting, the Māori language, prison and the courts, local government, research, science and technology, culture and heritage, foreign affairs, women's issues, labour, youth, education, economics, housing and the electoral system.

Editors Veronica Tawhai (Ngāti Porou, Ngāti Uepōhatu) and Katarina Gray-Sharp (Ngāti Rangi, Ngāti Raukawa, Ngāti Kauwhata, Ngāti Rangiwewehi) have produced a quality contribution to the literature concerning public policy and the Treaty of Waitangi.
