Treaty Resource Centre - He Puna Matauranga o Te Tiriti

The starting point for this discussion will be the question of negotiating non- Indigenous support of Indigenous struggles in Australia under the prevailing colonising conditions. Clare will discuss historical and contemporary examples which illustrate the fraught nature of negotiations between non-Indigenous supporters and Indigenous peoples about the nature of that support. Sources of tension, the work put in to maintain activist/ally relationships, and the qualities of these relationships will be explored.

Clare’s presentation will be followed by discussion looking at similarities and differences with how tangata Tiriti work with tangata whenua in Aotearoa.
