[You don't often get email from [FOI #20890 email]. Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentific... ]

Dear Ministry of Education,

This OIA request is for any correspondence, briefings, reports, recollections, aides-memoire and similar documents (including drafts) held by the Ministry of Education relating to changes made between the draft and final iterations of the Aotearoa histories curriculum and social sciences curriculum regarding the following:

1. The decision to remove the sentence 'It is clear Māori did not cede their mana to the crown and that they signed in the belief that it would give them power to govern in partnership with the governor'
2. The decision to change 'colonisation and its consequences' to 'colonisation and settlement'
3. The decision to remove reference to colonisation 'continuing to influence society today'
4. The decision to replace the reference to the Waitangi Tribunal from 'The Waitangi Tribunal investigation process and subsequent settlements by the Crown have led to economic, political, social, and cultural growth for iwi. The settlements have also provided an opportunity for reconciliation' with 'The Waitangi Tribunal investigation process and subsequent settlements by the Crown have provided an opportunity for reconciliation and greater engagement by non-Māori with the Treaty.'
5. Any consideration given to the submission from Te Runanga o Ngāi Tahu, as well as other iwi and hapū submissions 6. The decisions about using the wording 'the Treaty', 'te Tiriti' or 'te Tiriti o Waitangi | The Treaty of Waitangi'
7. Any decisions relating to changes made in reference to climate change 8. The use of te reo words in English sentences

Yours faithfully,

Frank Wilson
