Te Tiriti o Waitangi Tee
Te Tiriti O Waitangi Tee
The whakaaro behind this piece. 🖤
This piece speaks to a truth too often buried beneath ceremony and politics: Te Tiriti o Waitangi was never meant to blind Māori — it was meant to protect rangatiratanga, partnership, and dignity. Yet here, the Treaty is placed across the eyes like a blindfold, symbolising generations of promises obscured, ignored, and rewritten by those in power.
The gaze hidden behind the Treaty reflects how Māori voices have been silenced while their rights are continually debated instead of honoured. This is not just about history — it is about an ongoing struggle against the erosion of Indigenous sovereignty, language, land, and self-determination.
Made for everyday wear, crafted with a soft cotton build that creates an effortless look. An essential piece to complete any outfit.
