What misunderstandings did the Treaty of Waitangi cause?
There were problems regarding to language used in the document of the Treaty of Waitangi because when Henry Williams was translating the English version to Maori version he chose wrong words like 'rangatiratanga' and 'kawanatanga'.
Did the treaty of Waitangi mean the same to the two groups?
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.

Was the word kawanatanga used in the treaty of waitangi?
It was used there to translate the concept of soviereignty in 1835 then 1840 From an idiomatic perspective, this word had little meaning to the chiefs signing the treaty, since the concept of being governed by an overseeing authority was alien to Māori. What understanding Maori may have had of the term was derived principally from the Bible and in particular Herods Governorship. However many Māori believe that the word Mana (prestige, authority) would have provided appropriate meaning. One supposition is that if mana had been used instead of the new, transliterated kāwanatanga, the treaty would never had been signed. This treaty is still vitally important in modern New Zealand, and remains the object of much controversy and political debate.
