The Treaty of Waitangi,
We started of this Term by learning about the Treaty of Waitangi. The Treaty of Waitangi was signed on February the 6th 1840, about 5 years later the New Zealand wars began. while the wars were taking place the British Government took plots of land from the Maori because of rebelling against the Government. In 1872 the wars ended but the Maoris were still suffering because of the land that was taken from them. Nowadays there is a Group called the Tribunal group and they support the Maoris by letting them claim their land that was taken away for them in the 1800's. I think that if the Treaty was modified then we would be able to be at peace again and live together normally.
What are your ideas about the Treaty?
