Description

The Treaty Resource Centre promotes application of Te Tiriti o Waitangi within Aotearoa to public, business and community sectors and locates these efforts within an international context. 

The centre's objectives are -

• To promote understanding of Te Tiriti throughout Aotearoa including education, resource development, networking and media
• To facilitate research which contributes to understanding of Te Tiriti and its application, including undertaking research and assisting others with research
• To encourage and assist organizations to develop and implement Treaty-based policy, for example, Treaty audits, evaluation, developing models for different organisations
• To establish and maintain a repository for materials relevant to the centre's other objectives, including a website, database and library of published and unpublished material.
• To share with and learn from relevant efforts overseas.

The centre will not undertake Mäori development or Treaty history, as these are already addressed elsewhere.
