Te Ao Māori Trends & Insights

18 June 2025

Mānawatia a Matariki! We are excited to announce the release of our latest report, Te Ao Māori Trends & Insights in celebration of Matariki.

Matariki, widely recognised as the beginning of the Māori new year, is a time for reflection and anticipation. As we look back on the past year and forward to the future, we see te ao Māori continuing to shape the landscape of Aotearoa. The pace of change is accelerating, and this publication captures the essence of that journey.

This publication looks at:

  • Tikanga as a source of rights and claims in rangatiratanga
  • Mai i te moana ki te whenua – major legislative reform
  • The iwi andCrown relationship in the Treaty settlement context
  • Customary coastal marine rights – the battle for recognition
  • Legal personhood
  • Leaning on the law for climate justice
  • Celebrating 50 years of the Waitangi Tribunal
  • The Treaty Principles Bill, and
  • Economic trends and insights

Nau mai te mātahi o te tau!
