Now is time to change Te Papa’s Treaty of Waitangi display, the museum’s co-leaders say.

It comes after the museum left a defaced version of the Treaty of Waitangi on display over summer to enable “valuable conversations” about te Tiriti o Waitangi

Te Papa said it would consult with te Tiriti experts, iwi and communities for the permanent exhibition

The removed panel will be stored by the museum, and while no decision has been made about its future, Johnston said it was part of the exhibition’s history and the story of te Tiriti o Waitangi.

    Maori here.

    Two schools of thought

    • 1, this encourages repeat behavior. Im actually with you in this one.

    • 2, were peaceful ways ever working?

    I think they should change it, and have the person who damaged it pay for the replacement as they are so passionate about it.
