NATIONWIDE DISTRIBUTION OF TREATY BOOKLET
As a public good project, the NZCPR is publishing and distributing to as many New Zealand households as funding allows, free copies of the English translation of Sir Apirana Ngata’s 1922 “The Treaty of Waitangi: an explanation”.
BACKGROUND TO THE PROJECT
In 1922, in response to ongoing questions about the meaning of the Treaty of Waitangi, the trained lawyer and Member of Parliament Sir Apirana Ngata wrote an explanation of the Treaty in the Maori language.
Forty-one years later, with questions still remaining, Sir Apirana’s book was translated into English and distributed free of charge to Maori households as an insert in a government magazine.
Another forty years on, with the debate continuing, we are distributing Sir Apirana’s explanation the Treaty’s original meaning to Kiwi households.
And who better to bring some clarity into the Treaty debate than one of New Zealand’s most respected Maori leaders – the man who appears on our fifty-dollar bank note!
THE PROJECT
The project is in TWO parts.
THE FIRST is printing Sir Apirana’s explanation in a format that allows for mass distribution to an estimated 1.4 million households – namely as a quality insert in the country’s newspaper network.
And the SECOND PART involves printing 10,000 copies of the explanation as an A5 booklet to send to libraries and selected schools.
AT THE PRESENT TIME we have raised sufficient funding to print the 10,000 booklets and an initial print run of 500,000 of the inserts.
ACCORDINGLY, WE ARE NOW LAUNCHING AN URGENT FUNDRAISER to cover the cost of printing and distributing A FURTHER 900,000 inserts so as many New Zealand households as possible are able to read Sir Apirana’s insightful explanation. So, if you know anyone else who might be interested in helping with this project, please direct them to this fundraising page >>>> www.nzcpr.com/treaty-book-project
Also please note, for all donations (over $20 to cover costs) ten complimentary copies of the A5 booklet will be posted to you. More copies are available on request.
