Redress analysis
Primary role
Teacher-only planning note
Students need language for partial justice. Without it, they often end up with either simple praise
of settlements or equally simple dismissal. This pack is designed to prevent that collapse.
Strong fit
Interpreting past experiences, decisions, and actions and making
informed judgements using historical evidence and context.
How this resource aligns
The pack requires learners to evaluate what formal responses changed and what remained limited,
using source evidence rather than assumption.

Historical judgement

Strong fit
Systems shape how people and groups organise themselves: rights,
responsibilities, power, and fairness.
How this resource aligns
The redress continuum makes learners examine how state institutions respond to protest and what
those responses reveal about power and fairness in Aotearoa.

Fairness and power
Te Mātaiaho Social Studies `TM-SS-3-U1`.
Aotearoa lens
Justice in Aotearoa histories is relational and ongoing; it cannot be
reduced to a compensation figure or a single apology moment.
How to teach this well
Separate acknowledgement, apology, financial redress, and restoration of authority so students
can think precisely about what each response does.
