Every decision has a ripple effect. Why did iwi go to battle? What made the humble potato one of the most influential resources in Māori history? How did access to muskets reshape the balance of power between iwi?
History isn't just something you read about. It's something people lived through, one decision at a time.
In Aotearoa: Contact and Tiriti, you'll step into a changing world where trade, diplomacy, leadership and survival are all connected. The choices your team makes won't just affect you, they'll influence everyone else in the room.
No history degree required. No megagame experience needed. Just bring your curiosity... and maybe your negotiating skills. 😄
📅 Saturday 22 August
📍 Climate Action Campus, Christchurch
