Why did the Maori and British sign the Treaty of Waitangi?
There are many factors which influenced the Maori to sign the Treaty Of Waitangi.The Maori signed the Treaty of Waitangi because the purpose of the agreement was to protect Maori land interests in exchange for recognition of British sovereignty. The Maori had no dispute over handing over ownership of their land to Queen Victoria as they were promised the right to occupy their land for as long as they wished, and to be given protection in return.It was too late to turn the Europeans away. Hone Heke said so on the day of the signing (6 Feb 1840) and he said that the Maori would be better off signing the treaty on good terms.Rangitiratanga (authority and control) was promised to the Maori people (in the Maori version of the treaty).The Maori thought they were getting the protection of the Britsh Crown and a personal relationship with Queen Victoria.They believed they had much to gain such as increase in trade; they were promised gifts and they thought they would gain power.They had nothing to fear because at the time Maori outnumbered Pakeha 50 to 1.Some Maori were keen to sell land to the Government and make money.
Why did the Maoris sign the Treaty of Waitangi?
The Maori signed the Treaty of Waitangi because the purpose of the agreement was to protect Maori land interests in exchange for recognition of British sovereignty. The Maori had no dispute over handing over ownership of their land to Queen Victoria as they were promised the right to occupy their land for as long as they wished, and to be given protection in return.There were significant issues, however, which arose following the translation of the treaty from English to Maori. The terms of the Treaty were not clarified due to cultural misunderstanding. For example, the Maori word kawanatanga (which, literally translated, means governorship) was ceded to the Queen in the first article but the Maori did not have a frame of reference to properly understand either 'sovereignty' or 'governorship'. Because the Maori had little understanding of this concept, there is a degree of doubt as to whether they fully understood what they were signing. The Treaty subsequently remains the topic of much controversy and political debate.
