The principles of the Treaty were developed by the Waitangi Tribunal which was established in 1975 to examine breaches of the Treaty and provide non-binding recommendations to the Government.

- the duty to act reasonably and in good faith
- active protection of Māori interests

describe the treaty as a concept
The Treaty can also be considered as a cultural phenomenon that means something different to different people.
Within this perspective of the Treaty, many Māori view it as a partnership between our tupuna (ancestors) and the British Crown to allow Pākehā to settle alongside Māori in pace and harmony.
Kāwanatanga was given to the British Crown while maintaining and emphasising the Tino rangatiratanga of hāpu and iwi.
