The English version is different from the Maori version.
Over 500 chiefs gave their agreement on one of
the nine Treaty copies that have survived.
Most chiefs signed the Maori copy of the Treaty,
except for 39 chiefs who signed the English version.
New Zealand's founding
document, the Treaty of
Waitangi, was first signed on 6 February 1840.
The Treaty of Waitangi, 1840. In 1839 the British government sent a Captain William Hobson to New Zealand where uncontrolled development had already undermined traditional Maori culture. At Waitangi in February 1840 a majority of the Maori chiefs present agreed to cede sovereignty to Queen Victoria in exchange for confirmation of their land and protection. But Maori disappointment at the persistent encroachments upon their land led to the Maori wars from 1844 until 1872. In 1994 a New Zealand government apologized for breaches of the treaty and promised compensation.
basically England was not really keen on taking responsibility of New Zealand directly but there was other interest by European countries such as France which prompted the creation of the Treaty of Waitangi. Many maori signed the treaty of Waitangi because they believed it would ensure they would have protection of their land and mana.
The Treaty of Waitangi established a British governor in New Zealand, recognised Māori ownership of their lands and other properties, and gave Māori the rights of British subjects. This very document was the founding document of New Zeland and brought us all here today.
Signed in 1840, the Treaty of Waitangi is an agreement between the British Crown and Maori. It established British law in New Zealand, while at the same time guaranteeing Maori authority over their land and culture. The Treaty is considered New Zealand's founding document. In remembrance of the day the treaty was signed, there is a national holiday in NZ called 'Waitangi Day'.
With the signing of the Treaty, British Governor William Hobson declared British sovereignty over New Zealand, and the colony of New Zealand was formally proclaimed on 3 May 1840. This caused an increase in the number of British migrants to New Zealand.
The Treaty of Waitangi is called the Treaty of Waitangi because it was signed at Waitangi and was also the position designated and agreed upon by Maori Authorities and New Settler interests.
The Declaration of Independence of 1835 was signed 5 years earlier, where British Imperial interests surrendered. In 1840, British New Settlers were granted sovereignty, which under the United Nations means a people are granted their own rule with in their state or territory.
