Mahuta ake i te pae | Designing our Constitution 2024
A conference in memory of the late Dr Moana Jackson, this two-day hui continued the constitutional conversations sparked through Matike Mai Aotearoa, and aimed to identify practical steps towards designing an inclusive constitution for Aotearoa.
About the project
Mahuta ake i te pae | Designing our Constitution 2024 was a conference held in April 2024. The conference built on earlier discussions which were sparked through Matike mai Aotearoa and continued through the Māori Constitutional Convention 2021, Constitutional Kōrero 2022, and the Power in Our Truth conference 2023.
Drawing on the values identified in the Report of Matike Mai Aotearoa, an amazing lineup of speakers shared their thoughts on how these values could be translated into, and implemented through, a reimagined inclusive Te Tiriti based constitution for Aotearoa.
The conference was inspired by the legacy of the late Dr Moana Jackson, and hosted by Te Kāhui Tika Tangata | Human Rights Commission, the National Iwi Chairs Forum and Te Puna Rangahau o Te Wai Ariki | Centre for Indigenous Peoples and the Law, University of Auckland.
