These tensions are not merely legal disputes but reflect deeper worldview differences that shape decision-making, authority and relational obligations. This viewpoint argues for a Tiriti Relationships Framework that moves beyond adversarial, binary approaches to governance and instead prioritises relational engagement. Rather than treating Te Tiriti as a static legal document, we propose a framework honouring tino rangatiratanga (Māori self-determination) and kāwanatanga (Crown governance) through codecision-making and power-sharing. By centring relationships, this model challenges the dominance of Western legalism and fosters governance structures that reflect Aotearoa's diverse and evolving social realities.

Consistent with these preferences, participants rated talking to friends and counsellors as most helpful, while substance use, including alcohol and drugs, was strongly identified as harmful.
