Best Answer

The Treaty of Waitangi was signed between the indigenous Maori Chiefs and the British Crown from the North Island of New Zealand.

Due to the variation in translation, there is no general consensus on what was actually signed. However, the following points are widely accepted to have been the conditions of the Treaty:

- Maori are to be given the same rights as British subjects.

- Ownership of NZ land is given to the Maori people.

- Britain would govern New Zealand as a colony of Britain.

- The Queen of England shall appoint a British Representative and govern the country as Queen of New Zealand.
