A volume from the WhaleLIBRARY
NZ On Screen Lost in Translation Henry Williams sheet
Henry Williams’s role in explaining and translating Te Tiriti o Waitangi belongs to the wider history of the 1840 signing process. For the Kāpiti Coast, the local context includes the experiences and decisions of rangatira and communities whose histories are documented separately.
Documentary episode, Te Tiriti interpretation
The Treaty in historical context
The NZ On Screen programme reference is a modern interpretation, not a transcript of a particular Kāpiti signing encounter. This television interpretation provides wider Treaty context; it is not evidence of a particular Kāpiti signing encounter. Local accounts are treated separately.
