The nine original pages of Te Tiriti o Waitangi will be on display to the public at the National Library in Wellington on Waitangi Day.
The display is a part of He Tohu, a joint exhibition by Archives New Zealand and the National Library.
National Library spokeswoman Alison McIntyre describes the activities as “a real family day for all ages, with lots of activities on offer to learn more about Waitangi Day. It’s a day to reflect and learn about Te Tiriti, its meaning and how it has shaped us as a nation in many different ways.”
The Treaty will be displayed in state-of-the-art display cases in a specially built room named the Waka Huia, alongside two other historical documents He Whakaputanga, the 1835 Declaration of Independence, and the 1893 Women’s Suffrage Petition.
