Today we mark Waitangi Day, commemorating the signing of Te Tiriti o Waitangi (The Treaty of Waitangi) on 6 February 1840.  It is a day that holds both celebration and significance — a time to reflect on our shared history, recognise the ongoing journey of Te Tiriti, and consider what it continues to mean for Aotearoa New Zealand today.

Ko ngā pae tawhiti whāta kia tata, ko ngā pae tata, whakamaua kia tina.
Let us bring distant horizons closer, and strengthen what is already within reach.
