About the Treaty of Waitangi

On February the 6th 1840, the Treaty of Waitangi had come to New Zealand. So that more Maori and British people could sign the Treaty of Waitangi. The agreement in the contract was to bring peace and help us solve the problems that had been going on all around New Zealand. William Hobson had written the Treaty of Waitangi on behalf of Queen Victoria.


Today was the day for all Maori people and British people to sign the Treaty of Waitangi. All the Maori people couldn't fix what the problems were and how it could get be solved. It was a misunderstanding for the 2 versions of the English and Maori.


The Maori people were discussing how this could help everyone in New Zealand. Not many people all around New Zealand had food and water. So they new that some one had to sign the Treaty of Waitangi and, They were wondering who is going to be signing the Treaty of Waitangi, first out of all us Maori's.

So Hone Heke had decided to be one of the first chiefs to sign the Treaty of Waitangi. That is how all the British people, gave us peace and helped us with our problems. So more and more people all around New Zealand signed the Treaty of Waitangi, and wrote Moko as there signature.
