The new season of LATEs looks at the topic of innovation, with LATE 01: Waitangi, on Thursday 4 February, exploring innovations behind the Treaty of Waitangi settlements.
The music was turned up loud and the Atrium packed with the young and young-at-heart – it must mean LATE at the Museum is back for another year. The first LATE celebrated Waitangi Day and kicked off a brand new season exploring innovation. The panel discussion featured a thought provoking debate with Sir Douglas Graham and Dr Hone Kaa – two men with a lot to say. As a former Minister in Charge of Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations, Sir Douglas oversaw some of the some of the most significant legislation in New Zealand’s history, while Dr Kaa has been at the forefront of a battle to improve the social standing of Maori. In the appropriate surrounds of the Maori Court, the two men traded thoughts on the current state of Treaty negotiations, and shared their vision of where the future could take us.Following the discussion, New Zealand soul diva Whirimako Black took to the stage to demonstrate just why her voice has been described as “pure velvet” and “sublime and exceptionally expressive”. Then it was time for a complete change of pace, as The Mint Chicks blasted the Atrium with their electric mixture of pop-punk. A fitting finale to the first LATE of 2010.
How far has the Treaty of Waitangi brought us as a nation? Where do we go from here?
