Hear a kōrero from the He Tohu exhibition about Te Tiriti with Rt Hon Sir Geoffrey Palmer and Rt Hon Dame Sian Elias.

"The Crown wears many hats, its not just the crown on the head of the Queen, it is in a sense the government and how do you distinguish the crown from the government."

He Tohu is a permanent exhibition of 3 iconic constitutional documents that shape Aotearoa New Zealand.

The documents are:

* 1835 He Whakaputanga o te Rangatiratanga o Nu Tireni – Declaration of Independence of the United Tribes of New Zealand

* 1840 Te Tiriti o Waitangi – Treaty of Waitangi

* 1893 Women’s Suffrage Petition – Te Petihana Whakamana Pōti Wahine

He Tohu is presented by Archives New Zealand Te Rua Mahara o te Kāwanatanga and the National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa, both of which are part of the Department of Internal Affairs.
