history

With the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi on February 6, 1840, William Hobson , the first Governor of New Zealand , set up the Protectorate Department on the instructions of the Secretary of State for the Colonies . This department existed in its form until 1846 and had the task itself as the protector of the natives - as the colonial masters, the Māori called - to the social, religious and intellectual needs of Māori to care. That view changed when George Edward Gray became governor in 1845 . In his two terms in office (1845–1853 and 1861–1868) he campaigned for the integration and participation of the Māori in the state. With the creation of the Native Department , the school system with the so-called Native Schools was expanded and medical care was improved. 1867 was the first time four parliamentary seats for Māori provided, but this with the background of the political and military independence Māori - Chiefs to finish.

In December 1899, James Carroll became Minister of Native Affairs , the first Maori minister to be responsible for the Native Department . In 1947 the department was renamed the Department of Māori Affairs at the same time as other restructurings .

With the Ministry of Māori Development Act 1991 , the former Ministry of Māori Affairs (German: Ministry for Maori Affairs ) and the Iwi Transition Agency (German: trunk transition authority ), which was only created with the Māori Affairs Restructuring Act 1989 , dissolved with effect from January 1, 1992 and integrated its services into the newly created Ministry of Māori Development .
