What I Learnt About Treaty Of Waitangi

 I learnt that the European people tried to steal New Zealand, All together there were nine copies of the treaty. The treaty was written in English and Maori, The treaty of waitangi was a contract between the Maori and English. The treaty was signed on the 6th on February,1840 at the bay of islands.

There was a Reenactment of the treaty that aired in the 70's. The treaty occurred because the British came to NZ and took over their land. On the day, 530-540 Maori people were there and 40 chiefs attended the treaty, and 13 women signed as well. The relevance for us is it's part of NZ history, and kids can learn why the treaty of waitangi occurred.
