The Treaty of Waitangi!

My Interpretation of the Treaty of Waitangi

Treaty of Waitangi is a founding document that was signed on the 6th of February 1840. Over five hundred Maori chiefs and the British people signed the treaty. The Treaty was in three parts that are called articles.

The Maori people and the British traded food and valuable things for muskets which started fights called the musket wars. The treaty of Waitangi was an agreement between the British and the Maori people. The government didn’t always honour the Treaty. A few years after the Treaty was signed, promises were broken.
