This paper discusses tino rangatiratanga which is central to a Maori understanding of the Treaty of Waitangi. It refers to Maori control of all things Maori - Maori sovereignty. Tino rangatiratanga stands in contrast to kawanatanga which Maori have always seen as giving only limited power to the Crown. However history has seen the displacement of tino rangatiratanga by a form of kawanatanga which assumes that the Crown has absolute authority over all people and all matters in this land.

Information on Traditional uses of New Zealand native plants. In a project initiated by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR) in the late 1980s, historical records were searched for information on the economic and cultural uses of harakeke or New Zealand flax. This information was put into a database for easy access. During the 1990s, early publications and manuscripts were searched for details on the traditional uses of all New Zealand native plants, as part of research for a proposed ethnobotanical garden. Information gathered was added to the existing database on harakeke.

Pohutukawa Trust New Zealand is a charitable trust incorporated under the Charitable Trusts Act 1957. The Trust was established by a group of Kawau Island's private landowners in March 1992. Events leading to the Trust's beginnings go back to 1955 when New Zealand's looming possum problem was first positively identified on Kawau. Thirty years later the New Zealand Forest Service said it was hopeless to consider doing anything about the destruction of the Island's flora caused by introduced animals. Kawau Island was "written off". "Kawau Island has no particular significance for its botany nor for its native wildlife values" and "Kawau Island is of historical rather than botanical interest" were some of the assessments.
