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. With the signing of the Treaty, Governor Hobson declared British sovereignty over New Zealand, and the colony of New Zealand was formally proclaimed on 3 May 1840.
