Good Web sites

I'll probably refer to these sites or parts of them during the year but if you need information these are good places to start:

NZ History Net has lots of information put together by the History group of the Ministry of Culture and Heritage. Its aimed at students and has information aimed at each of the 3 NCEA levels. Of special interest is the "Classroom" section and the forum(s).

The last large encyclopaedia was the "McLintock" published in 1966. The Government has commisioned an new on-line encyclopaedia called Te Ara which has lots of information in an easy to read format. It warrants repeated visits as you can dig down into the material to reveal some really valuable information. Interestingly they have included a digital version of the McLintock, which can thow up some interesting ideas and views.

The Treaty of Waitangi is online here at the official Treaty site.

Information on Maori in the Wellington region can be found here at the WCC site.

Cheers
