The Future of Rangatiratanga |

by Richard S Hill* e-Future Times, March 2003 Historians are seldom asked to look into the future, and they even more rarely oblige. They are even loath to engage in 'counterfactual history' about what might have been in the past if a circumstance or circumstances had been different. Generally, they argue that the present cannot be fully understood without knowledge of the past, and that without full knowledge of the present, the future cannot be properly and rationally planned. Insofar as they look to that future with any specificity, they argue - usually implicitly - that a better future can come about through taking heed of the lessons that can be learnt from the past.
