Te Tiriti o Waitangi The principle of mahi-tahi: meaningful collaboration, is based on the te Tiriti partnership established between Māori as tangata whenua, and the Crown, in 1840, this lays the foundation for our relationships with iwi, hapū, whānau and Māori collectives and with industry and community decision makers. Their priorities are our priorities.
