Hone heke and captain william hobson
I think hisview on t he treaty was that he didn't want to same to happen to the Maori as what happen to the Aborigines. So he decided to make come up with a treaty so the Maori could have rights and save some of there land. I think he had this view because he realised that what they were doing to the aborigines was unfair and sad as heaps of families got split up and destroyed because of them (Europeans). But this view is not sure as i am not William Hobson myself but that's what i have thought it is from gathering information about it.
there wasnt one at the time, but william hobson became the first after it was signed
