- why we have a Treaty – relationships pre-1840, the context for the Treaty
- what it says – the wording and understandings of Te Tiriti o Waitangi
- what happened post Treaty – breaches of the Treaty, the impacts of colonisation and Māori responses
- current Treaty issues – key events post 1975, including the Treaty settlement process
- what can I/we do? – personal and/or organisational responses
