Overview
The research focused on completing initial data collection and analysis, working with Waitangi Tribunal reports to determine how the Tribunal conceptualised honourable kāwanatanga. This involved conducting a search of Tribunal literature, identifying relevant information, compiling it into a database, performing a thematic analysis, and using these findings to author a literature review that introduced the first phase of the project.
