Since the 1980s, Robert Consedine has worked with a network of Pakeha and Māori
to create a successful workshop process that enables Pakeha to learn about, and courageously confront,
New Zealand's colonial history and to understand its implications in the present.
Robert's unique experience illustrates how all New Zealanders can discover a
sense of personal and national identity, grounded in authentically honouring the Treaty relationship.
Robert has long been involved in Treaty of Waitangi workshops.
He speaks of forgiveness, healing, acknowledging the pain of history,
reparation and the restoration of right relationships. None is an
easy option, but each is a necessary step towards a better New Zealand for all
of us. This is a good book.
