What a nation chooses to remember and forget: the war for New Zealand's history | Vincent O'Malley

What a nation chooses to remember and forget: the war for New Zealand's history | Vincent O'Malley

Those who tell Maori to stop living in the past rarely apply the same logic to first world war commemorations. Is New Zealand mature enough to own its history?

In the long run the Prime Minister's most transformative decision may be the requirement to teach NZ history in all schools from next year, ensuring some level of basic historical literacy about our country's past for younger generations. That will be powerful if done well.
