Significant health inequities in Aotearoa present compelling evidence that responsibilities under Te Tiriti o Waitangi have not been upheld. The aim of this paper is to present our experiences as Pākehā/Palangi working in Māori and Pasifika health in Aotearoa. We are interested in what prevents the upholding of responsibilities by tangata Tiriti and in how, as tangata Tiriti, we can do better. In this paper we explore responsibilities of tangata Tiriti by describing the context and evaluating power, paralysis, and positionality. "Power" is identified as a key factor continuing to perpetuate colonisation and systemic racism. "Paralysis" occurs due to individual racism, apathy, guilt and/or a fear of doing wrong. "Positionality" is an internal and external process that involves consciousness of biases, perspectives, values, privileges, beliefs, superiority and identities. Finally, we point to tools of engagement with the aim of serving and creating space for self-determination for Māori and Pasifika peoples.
在新西兰，存在着显著的健康不平等现象，这有力地证明了《怀唐伊条约》（Te Tiriti o Waitangi）下的责任并未得到履行。本文旨在介绍我们作为 Pākehā/Palangi 在新西兰毛利人和太平洋岛民健康领域工作的经验。我们对阻止《怀唐伊条约》各方履行责任的因素以及作为《怀唐伊条约》的各方如何做得更好感兴趣。在本文中，我们通过描述背景和评估权力、瘫痪和定位来探讨《怀唐伊条约》各方的责任。“权力”被确定为继续殖民化和系统性种族主义的关键因素。“瘫痪”是由于个人种族主义、冷漠、内疚和/或害怕做错事而产生的。“定位”是一个内部和外部的过程，涉及到对偏见、观点、价值观、特权、信仰、优越性和身份的意识。最后，我们指出了参与的工具，旨在为毛利人和太平洋岛民人民的自决服务并创造空间。
