Te tiriti o waitangi
in Hurumanu 1 we have been learning all about the ancient history of New Zealand. I have been working on a task that has a lot of different activities. the task is called te Tiriti o Waitangi in this task we learn all about Waitangi day, the origins of Waitangi day, how Waitangi day started, and the treaty of Waitangi day. I always thought that Waitangi day was just a day off school but its more than that it is the national day of New Zealand and it is a day to have fun to play games hang out with friends and family. it is a day for no one to have any worries. the treaty of Waitangi day was signed in the bay of islands and the treaty was signed in 1840. Treaty of Waitangi. Treaty to establish a British Governor of New Zealand, consider Māori ownership of their lands and other properties and give Māori the rights of British subjects. ... Once it had been written and translated, it was first signed by Northern Māori leaders at Waitangi.
Ka pai Levi! You have written an excellent description of Waitangi Day. It is important that we learn this history about our country as unfortunately there are still people who feel that Maori should have more ownership over resources in our country such as water.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you will continue to enjoy learning about our history.
