	Treaty of Waitangi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The most critical difference revolves around the interpretation of two Māori words, kawanatanga (literally, governorship) which is ceded to the Queen in the first article and rangatiratanga (literally chieftainship) which is retained by the chiefs in the second.
		Maori to retain rangatiratanga over their resources and taonga and to have all the privileges of citizenship.
		The preservation of a resource base, restoration of iwi self-management, and the active protection of taonga, both material and cultural, are necessary elements of the Crown’s policy of recognising rangatiratanga.

	Tino rangatiratanga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As such, the unofficial flag of the Maori peoples is often referred to as the Flag of tino rangatiratanga.
		Given the Australian treatment of Aborigines and Pilates' treatment of the Jews, Kawanatanga does not seem to be intended to mislead Maori as to the nature of British sovereignty.
		In article two of the Treaty, the Maori text assured the signatories that their tino rangatiratanga would remain undisturbed, along with their continued possession of their lands and other taonga.

	On the meaning and implications of rangatiratanga being lodged in the Waipareira trust
		To hold rangatiratanga is to have the rights of whatever authority and control over the people of the community that holding it in that particular group brings with it.
		So: rangatiratanga is based on consent; consent will be given where rangatira attend to their duties in a spirit of love and concern; and the giving and withdrawing of consent are not light matters to be done on a whim.
		3.3 at 79, on the ‘nurturing and fostering dimensions of rangatiratanga and the ethic of whanautanga’.

	The Maori Law Review - July 1998
		Rangatiratanga may take many forms in different settings and is the ‘single most potent factor in Mäori social organisation and the most effective catalyst for constructive change”.
		The rangatiratanga or autonomy which might be desired is necessarily constrained by the proper exercise of kawanatanga or governance.
		Rangatiratanga: while kinship and descent provide ready-made networks of relationships among Mäori “it is rangatiratanga that determines which of those relationships have current significance.” The Crown’s duty is to protect rangatiratanga wherever it is manifest.

	COMPETING CONCEPTUAL APPROACHES TO INDIGENOUS GROUP ISSUES IN NEW ZEALAND LAW (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Vis-à-vis the Crown, the principle of rangatiratanga means that a particular Mori community 'should control their own tikanga and taonga, including their social and political organisation, and, to the extent practical and reasonable, fix their own policy and manage their own programmes.'
		In describing rangatiratanga, the Tribunal appears in some passages to suggest that it entails a particular type of relationship between leaders and ordinary people, which might leave room for doubt about the status of a totally non-hierarchical but close-knit urban Mori group.
		Rangatiratanga is a dynamic relationship; popular support, freely given, can equally freely be withheld or transferred in order to better secure the interests of individual members or the community.' Waipareira Report, supra note 40 at 214.

	Tino Rangatiratanga
		The term tino rangatiratanga was used in the Declaration of Independence of 1835 which recognised Nu Tireni (New Zealand) to be a sovereign and independent nation where power and authority rested with the rangatira.
		In retaining tino rangatiratanga it was clear to Maori that their ability to control their own destiny was not diminished.
		Others of these principles limit rangatiratanga to a power subject to the authority of the Crown, require reasonable co-operation with the Crown and justify the imposition of English Common Law as a basis for equality.

		The 1840 Treaty of Waitangi assured Maori of tino rangatiratanga, or full authority, over their taonga (treasures, including wahi tapti) but most Maori land, including wahi tapti, has since been alienated and is now in crown or private ownership.
		Clearly the chiefs did not anticipate that rangatiratanga would be subsumed by kawanatanga.
		The key to the renaissance of rangatiratanga, apart from Maori determination to prevail, is the acceptance and willingness of the dominant Pakeha culture to realise the spirit of the treaty.

		The justification for their internal leadership (rangatiratanga) is very similar: rangatiratanga is a quality of the relationship between leaders and people that is characteristic of good community relationships.
		So described, Mori groups and rangatiratanga would be good whether particular groups of people had constituted the groups themselves in acts of voluntary association or had simply been born into them.
		Whatever the truth of the matter in this case, the practical implications of the tino rangatiratanga principle cannot be taken always to coincide with the implications of the principle of effective ethnic representation.

		Rangatiratanga signifies the mana of Maori not only to possess what they own but to manage and control it in accordance with their preferences.
		And so land retained by Maori and over which they exercised rangatiratanga would involve continuing to hold the land communally as a community resource with the subordination of individual rights necessary to maintain tribal unity and cohesion.
		This was conceded by the Maori people in exchange for the protection of their rangatiratanga by the Crown.

		Noting that the Treaty of Waitangi applied to all Maori, and that it was a living document whose interpretation should respond to changes in social and cultural life, the Tribunal rejected the Crown's argument and recommended that Te Whanau o Waipareira be granted the status of a Treaty partner.
		The Ministry is in an especially difficult position because "the concept of rangatiratanga is the subject of intense debate within Maoridom" (Department of Social Welfare 1999:14).
		Prior to the articulation of their arguments before the Tribunal and the courts, it was taken for granted in New Zealand that iwi referred only to tribes and that chieftainship (rangatiratanga) was something exercised in the context of traditional groupings.

		In these ways Ngati Pahauwera speak of the nature of rangatiratanga as they see it, defining something they consider they have inherited from their tipuna, something they see as passing to their descendants.

	Submission - Northland Urban Rural Mission
		Although Te Tino Rangatiratanga implies possession and distribution of resources, it is primarily about authority, control and wider issues of policy, management and conservation.
		As we understand it, under Te Tino Rangatiratanga the Tangata Whenua have not only a complex set of obligations with respect to land, foreshore, seabeds and other resources - obligations to past and future generations - but also the right to the means to fulfill these obligations.
		In breaking the Treaty yet again and in undermining Te Tino Rangatiratanga, in this case by legislating to remove the foreshore and seabed from their Kaitiaki, "we" Pakeha settlers acting through the Crown would be continuing down the path of taking away the means for the Tangata Whenua to fulfill their sacred responsibilities.

		This report concerned broad issues of the mana and rangatiratanga or customary authority and control by a confederation of hapü to the middle reaches of the Rangitaiki, Wheao and Whirinaki Rivers in the Bay of Plenty.
		Consequently it would be hard to believe that tino rangatiratanga was retained over them when they were entirely within a land block and all rights of access were lost.
		However, it must be accepted that “some of the owners of riparian lands may well have contemplated a lesser use of their riparian rights or a sharing of rights” as a result of land sales.

		Rangatiratanga incorporates rights and responsibilities to make decisions on the use, control and protection of natural resources according to Maori cultural values and customary preferences.
		In terms of rangatiratanga under the Treaty, Maori assert that they were guaranteed the right to exercise ownership over their taonga resources and the decision-making rights on use and protection that flow from ownership.

	Public Address \| Speaker
		If those opposed to the Treaty deny rangatiratanga, it is an inescapable extension of that same logic that they are denying their own legitimacy to be here.
		For it was precisely by exercise of this collective rangatiratanga on behalf of their tribal groups that the chiefs consented to being a party to the Treaty with the British sovereign.
		I suspect at the heart of this Pakeha sense of imbalance is this fear of rangatiratanga or tino rangatiratanga as it is often most commonly expressed.

	Indigenous Peoples and the Law: Article: SLAYING THE LEVIATHAN: CRITICAL JURISPRUDENCE AND THE TREATY
		The concept of "passive revolution" is utilised by Kelsey to dismiss concessions and promises of change made by the State as being merely part of a strategy of divide and rule until the challenge of tino rangatiratanga to the State's authority is diffused.
		Kelsey's conclusion is that the crisis the state faced in the early 1980s, as a result of Maori claims to tino rangatiratanga, has been temporarily resolved by the judiciary and the Waitangi Tribunal utilising the concept of "principles of the Treaty" to limit and redefine Maori claims.
		Ihimaera is also seeking to expand Kelsey's project of demystifying the legitimacy of the judicial process, thereby encouraging the reader to question the neutrality of the courts and the Waitangi Tribunal and their continuing role in the denial of tino rangatiratanga.

		THIS, is the meaning of rangatiratanga - it results in something that brings honour to everyone and is in no way exclusive.

		When you break it down to where people really live their lives, rangatiratanga means being able to devise your own economic pathway, to have access to and participate in quality education and health, but most of all, not having to give up being Maori to access those things.
