The Māori chiefs who decided and agreed to sign the treaty did so because they wanted the British to govern, which means to make laws about behaviour.

Did ngati maniapoto sign the treaty of waitangi?

No a lot of of tribes like Tuhoe for example did not sign, About 500 chiefs did sign the original treaty which is written in Maori. There are actually two treaties the original and the Pakeha (non Maori) translated version which is written in English. If the treaty gives Maori the rights of English citizens then English law applies, In the English court of law if a contract is disputed the courts must rule in favor of the party who did not write the contract i.e. the Maori. The world courts have also ruled in favor of the Maori but the NZ government and all its supporters just ignore these rulings just like they ignore the theft of America from the Indians and every other country Pakeha have stolen. Maori would have no problems with the Pakeha ruling the land if they had won it in battle but the truth is the Maori were winning the war and so other tactics similar to the ones used against the boer were used. Thats why you never see films about the Maori wars.
