Rangatiratanga is a Maori concept and term referring to sovereignty, chiefly authority, and the right of self-determination — particularly of Maori people over their own affairs, lands, and culture. It's enshrined in the Treaty of Waitangi and sits at the heart of New Zealand's ongoing conversations about indigenous rights. Far more than a historical word, it's actively used in political, legal, and cultural contexts today by those advocating for Maori autonomy.
