The Ōrākei resource kit details the land claim of Ngāti Whātua o Ōrākei and emphasises the steady erosion of the iwi’s land and economic resources by the Crown, which culminated in the Bastion Point land occupation of 1978. The kit helps students to understand what tribal land ownership means to Māori people and was written for the year 10 social-studies syllabus. However, it is also suitable for use in senior history, geography, legal studies, and cultural studies courses.
