No. The British and the Maori had different meanings in sovereignty and owning the land. ---- Further details: In signing the Treaty of Waitangi, the Māori agreed to hand over ownership of their land to Queen Victoria and, in return, were to retain the right to occupy their land as long as they wished, and to be protected in so doing.
Major issues concerning the original translation of the treaty from English to Māori have resulted in the terms of the Treaty being in ongoing dispute. The most critical difference centres around the interpretation of two Māori words, kawanatanga (literally governorship) which is ceded to the Queen in the first article and rangatiratanga (literally chieftainship) which is retained by the chiefs in the second. Many Māori at that time had little understanding of either 'sovereignty' or 'governorship' and because of this translation difficulty, some questions have arisen as to whether they fully understood what they were signing.

Why was the Treaty Of Waitangi a trick and not a treaty?
It was a trick because the English version was different to the Maori version. edit;; The maori and english could not translate each others languages properly so they didn't say the exact same thing. The maori didn't speak te reo then, so it was way to difficult. At least thats what i've been taught anyway.
