This week’s NiE Pulse page looks briefly at some of the headlines in New Zealand history. Although we are a relatively young country, there have been many key events that have helped shape our nation. Perhaps the most well-known and important events include the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, the late Sir Hillary’s ascent of Mt Everest, and the Springbok tour protests among others.
You could use this page as a starting point to explore the question why study history? with your students. For more information and teaching suggestions can be found under the More information tab.
