New Zealand was founded by the Treaty of Waitangi which was a treaty between Maori, as represented by many, but by no means all, Maori tribal leaders, and Pakeha (non-Maori) as represented by British government officials. The Treaty's official signing date was 6th of February, 1840 which is why 6th of february is known as Waitangi Day.
