Happy Waitangi Day, Aotearoa!

In celebration, we're highlighting Whale Rider, the international hit movie about a Māori girl who challenges gender norms to pursue her destiny, based on the acclaimed novel by Witi Ihimaera.

When Keisha Castle-Hughes was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance at age 13, she became the youngest actress ever nominated for the award at that time and the first Indigenous actress and first Māori actress ever nominated.

We were honored to partner with the filmmakers to make the official teaching guide for this film. Get our free lesson plans to share this beautiful film with your learning community.

Today, New Zealand celebrates its official national day. Known as Waitangi Day, it marks the first signing of New Zealand's founding document: Te Tiriti o Waitangi, The Treaty of Waitangi, on 6th February 1840, between the British Crown and Maori Chiefs. #FactsMatter #WaitangiDay

on this day, i take an unusually long moment to appreciate that i have the opportunity to live in a western democracy that must co-govern with indigenous leaders, and respect te ao māori generally
