Waitangi Day


Explore

I think it is about Waitangi. The Maori people(group of people) is holding a Maori flag and a banner that says "Honour The Treaty" and I think they are trying to say that the Waitangi Treaty is not fair for them and they are honouring the treaty they made.

Locate
  • signed 1840 6th of February
  • Maori culture- broken, damaged and scattered
  • Maori calling for the terms of the treaty to be honoured
  • Waitangi- place of Bay of Islands
  • Bay of Islands(Waitangi)- first singed
  • Waitangi day: Public holiday in NZ
  • Treaty prepared in few days
  • Edward Williams- translated English draft to Maori overnight
  • 500 Maori debated document
  • 540 chiefs signed Maori treaty
