How Was The Treaty Of Waitangi carried around New Zealand?

i dont really know


Who signed the treaty of waitangi for the maori?

The Treaty established a British Governor of New Zealand, recognised Māori ownership of their lands and other properties, and gave the Māori the rights of British subjects. There are nine copies of the Treaty of Waitangi including the original signed on 6 February 1840 Around 500 chiefs, including at least 13 women, signed the Treaty of Waitangi.


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.
