The Hon. Chris Finlayson, co-author (with James Christmas) of the 2022 Ockham NZ Book Awards longlisted 'He Kupu Taurangi: Treaty Settlements and the Future of Aotearoa New Zealand', served as Minister for Treaty Negotations in the National Government (2008-2017). Tā Mark Solomon, author of the memoir 'Mana Whakatipu', led his iwi Ngāi Tahu from settlement – helping to establish them as a major economic player in the Aotearoa New Zealand landscape. In a fascinating – and occasionally feisty – meeting of minds, they join in conversation with Stacey Morrison to discuss leadership, partnership and the relationship between the Crown and Māori – past, present and future.
