The Waitangi Tribunal was established in 1975 to hear claims by Maori against the Crown arising under the treaty of Waitangi.  Today it sits at the heart of the Treaty settlement process, with a unique jurisdiction to investigate claims and make recommendations for settlement.

This book reviews the Tribunal’s place in contemporary New Zealand, and takes a critical look at its role in reshaping Maori society and identity.  The Waitangi Tribunal concludes by reflecting on the future of the Waitangi tribunal, and its contribution to developing notions of reparatory and distributive justice in New Zealand.
