TE KĀHUI TE TIRITI O DINZ 

Digital Identity New Zealand (DINZ) is committed to being tiriti honouring by giving mana to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and being an effective treaty partner with Tāngata Whenua. Te Tiriti o Waitangi and He Whakaputanga are the founding documents for Aotearoa. Te Tiriti o Waitangi asserts to have equitable partnerships (Ōritetanga) between Māori and Non-Māori as well as empowering Māori to have Rangatiratanga.  Both Māori and Non-Māori world views of identity should inform our intent and mahi in DINZ therefore we will seek to empower Māori to have Kāwantanga (Governance) and Rangatiratanga (Self Determination).

In late 2021, DINZ completed the drafting of its Statement of Intent (SOI) to honour the relevant articles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi in the furtherance of its mission. This Working Group, launched in May 2022, is envisaged to be an important component in seeking feedback on the draft, refining it and publishing it, developing a plan to implement the SOI and delivering it.

The aim of this group is to:  

  • Develop and recommend an action plan for DINZ to deliver on its Te Tiriti SOI
  • Support the implementation of the developed action plan
  • Support and promote Māori representation and participation in Digital Identity
  • Identify and advocate for Māori aspirations, practises, and values in relation to Digital Identity
