How did New Zealand get its independence?

According to the historian: On 28 October 1835, the Declaration
of the Independence of New Zealand was signed by the United Tribes
of New Zealand, a loose confederation of Māori tribes from the far
north of New Zealand organised by British resident James Busby.
This document recognised Māori independence, and most academics
agree this declaration was abrogated five years later by the Treaty
of Waitangi, which ceded the independence (recognised by King
William IV of the United Kingdom) of Māori to the British
Crown.
