Michael Belgrave – Becoming Aotearoa

This is a past WORD Christchurch event from 2025. To find out about our latest events and upcoming festival please join our mailing list.

In the first major history of Aotearoa New Zealand to be published for 20 years, Professor Michael Belgrave puts forward the idea that Aotearoa’s two peoples — tangata whenua and later migrants — have worked together to shape an open, liberal society built on a series of social agreements. He invites us to take a deeper, thoughtful look at our shared history. He joins Michael Stevens (Ngāi Tahu) for a kōrero.
