The State of Māori Rights was first published in 2011 and brought together a Māori view of
events and issues that occurred between 1994 and 2009 with a direct impact on Māori. This
includes the 1994 fiscal envelope policy debate, the 50,000-strong protest march against the
foreshore and seabed legislation, the Waitangi Tribunal and its Treaty claims process, and
media attacks on Māori MPs.
This edition, revised and updated with new chapters, brings Margaret Mutu’s The State of Māori
Rights through to 2024, a time when Māori rights under the Treaty of Waitangi are once again
being violated. Mutu covers Māori responses to COVID-19 and to national disasters such as the
White Island eruption and the Christchurch Mosque Attacks on the Muslim community. Māori
initiatives and success stories run through these years too, which, in Mutu’s words, ‘encourage
us not to lose sight of our ancestors’ vision’.
