The Greens will also keep pushing for action and approaches that honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi and the tino rangatiratanga of hapū and iwi over their lands, waters, and people. Honouring Te Tiriti can not only right past wrongs but also empower Aotearoa to address underlying social and environmental problems. For decades, Māori have been excluded from decisions about what happens to land that used to be theirs. Now the Green Party are calling on the Government to begin a process of returning stolen land to tangata whenua so that they may reassert their ancestral role as kaitiaki of our precious whenua, awa, and moana.
