| Description |
On February 8 1990, the First NZ International Kite Festival took place. The Festival ran till February 11 and was held in the New Zealand city of Napier which lies in Hawkes Bay. The event was part of the 1990 Commission. The New Zealand 1990 Commission was established in 1988 to initiate activities and events for celebrating the 150th anniversary of New Zealand as a nation, the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, 1000 years of known human habitation of New Zealand, and the 75th anniversary of the landing at Gallipoli. The Commission was initially made up of 12 persons and the Minister of Internal Affairs, the Minister as chairperson. Four regional offices were established in Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington and Dunedin. In order to fulfil its statutory functions the Commission had two major roles, that of an advisory body, and the body responsible for the distribution of funds for 1990 celebrations. Committees were formed throughout New Zealand based on the then existing local boundary authorities. Community groups, organisations and individuals wishing to organise 1990 events worked with these committees who in turn liaised with the nearest 1990 office - Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington or Dunedin. The New Zealand 1990 Commission encouraged participation and involvement of many New Zealanders in the 1990 celebrations. In doing so the Commission hoped to: - increase the understanding and awareness of the Treaty of Waitangi; - increase awareness and understanding of alternative points of view and differing cultural backgrounds; - to encourage planning and thinking for the next 50 years to lay a better foundation for the future. The Wellington office also had responsibility for Advertising and Communications for the New Zealand 1990 Commission. This included the coverage of events such as the Queen attending the 1990 celebrations at Waitangi, and television campaigns covering other celebratory events.
