New Zealand History online has a number of resources and activities to support those studying the Level 1 NCEA theme Race Relations - New Zealand, Māori and Pākehā 1912–1980.

• The relationship between Māori and Pākehā before the Second World War
• The effects of the Second World War and increasing urbanisation of Māori at this time on race relations
• Key issues in race relations between 1960 and 1980
