Title: The Treaty of Waitangi and the control of language
Description: This work argues that terms in the Treaty of Waitangi like "sovereignty" and "tino rangitiratanga" do not have a plain meaning; meaning is open to the vicissitudes of time and culture. It seeks to augment the level of policy debate by directing attention to the importance of language.
