A Pacific nation shaped by continuing Māori culture, te Tiriti o Waitangi, colonisation and migration.
Aotearoa New Zealand: history and milestones3
- Māori ancestors voyaged from East Polynesia and settled Aotearoa around 1250–1300.
- te Tiriti o Waitangi was first signed in 1840; its Māori and English texts have important differences and should not be presented as identical translations.
- Colonial wars and raupatu, women’s suffrage in 1893, adoption of the Statute of Westminster in 1947 and the Constitution Act 1986 shaped the present constitutional system.

LGBTQ+ law, Pride and community history3
- Colonisation introduced British-derived criminal law and conservative attitudes that suppressed sexual and gender diversity.
- After organising in the 1960s and liberation movements in the 1970s, consensual sex between adult men was decriminalised in 1986.
- Human-rights protections, civil unions and marriage equality in 2013 followed; takatāpui, trans and intersex experiences still require their own contexts.

Takatāpui cultural context
- takatāpui
- takatāpui is rooted in Māori history, whānau and culture. Do not reduce it to a single Western identity label or apply it automatically to every Māori LGBTQ+ person.
