Waitangi Day is a national day of New Zealand. It is a public holiday and is celebrated on 6th February. On this day the treaty of Waitangi was signed that is New Zealand's founding document.
New Zealand was founded by the Treaty of Waitangi which was a treaty between Maori, as represented by many, but by no means all, Maori tribal leaders, and Pakeha (non-Maori) as represented by British government officials. The Treaty's official signing date was 6th of February, 1840 which is why 6th of february is known as Waitangi Day.
The first proposal that Waitangi Day be made a public holiday was mooted in 1957 by the New Zealand Labour Party. After their election, though, rather than create an entirely new public holiday, Labour passed the 1960 Waitangi Day Act. This allowed individual localities to redesignate an existing public holiday as Waitangi Day. For instance, in 1963 Auckland Anniversary Day became Waitangi Day for Northland.In 1971 Matiu Rata, Labour shadow minister for Maori Affairs, introduced a private members’ bill to make Waitangi Day a national public holiday in its own right. This bill failed, but after a successful 1972 election, Labour announced that from 1974 the 6th of February would be a national holiday called New Zealand Day.
