The Red Book — ‘Ka tika ā muri, ka tika ā mua — Healing the past, building a future’ — is a guide to Treaty of Waitangi claims and negotiations with the Crown.
The Red Book was last republished in its entirety in 2018. Four updates to sections have been made since. In 2025 we updated the negotiating with large natural groups and mandating sections, and in 2021 and 2023 we updated the overlapping interests section. The updated sections are now available both online and in the PDF. The updated sections better reflect current Crown policy and practice in these areas.
The section relating to Progress with Treaty settlements so far and section About Te Tari Whakatau have also been updated in the 2025 edition, available as a PDF.
