TE TIRITI ARTICLES IN PRACTICE
It is vital for tangata Tiriti organisations, and anyone working for or on behalf of the Crown – that is, all those in the kāwanatanga sphere – to understand what honouring Te Tiriti means in practice.
This expression of the articles of Te Tiriti has been developed collectively by tangata whenua and tangata Tiriti experts and leaders across a range of fields. It supports us to move away from Crown-defined “principles” and to honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi, the te reo Māori text agreed to by rangatira and the Crown.

To apply Te Tiriti in our day-to-day work means:
Preamble:
We understand the enduring purpose of Te Tiriti as an agreement to peaceful and just relationships. This requires those in the kāwanatanga sphere to uphold the rights and enact the responsibilities of these articles:
- Kāwanatanga:
Our processes, actions, decision-making and delivery of services are informed and shaped equally by tangata whenua and tangata Tiriti worldviews and perspectives. - Tino Rangatiratanga:
We recognise the importance of tangata whenua authority and autonomy. We take active steps to support tangata whenua-led processes, actions and decision-making through the sharing of power and resources. - Ōritetanga:
We undertake specific actions to ensure equitable outcomes for tangata whenua.
4. Wairuatanga/Ritenga Māori:
Tangata whenua worldviews, values and wairuatanga are respected in our work.
These statements can also be posed as questions to prompt planning and action specific to your organisation.
- Kāwanatanga:
How will our processes, actions and decision-making be informed and shaped by both tangata whenua and tangata Tiriti worldviews and perspectives? - Tino Rangatiratanga:
How will we recognise the importance of tangata whenua authority and autonomy? What active steps will we take to share power and resources, and to support tangata whenua-led processes, actions and decision-making? - Ōritetanga:
What specific actions will we undertake to ensure equitable outcomes for tangata whenua?
4. Wairuatanga/Ritenga Māori:
How will we ensure tangata whenua worldviews, values and wairuatanga are respected in our work?
5. Evaluation
How will we monitor and evaluate our work to uphold Te Tiriti o Waitangi?
