Puao-te-Ata-tu

Puao-te-Ata-tu was a report written in 1986 by the Ministerial Advisory Committee on a Maori Perspective for the Department of Social Welfare in New Zealand. It was a detailed commentary and enquiry into racism within New Zealand society, and in particular within the Department of Social Welfare.

The document contains a detailed account of New Zealand's history focusing on the interactions between the indigenous Maori people and the British settlers. It points out in detail the harm done to the Maori people and culture and the effects this has had on the wellbeing and socio-economic status of Maori people. A number of recommendations are given in regard to becoming an anti-racist society and achieving social equality for the Maori people.
