Treaty of waitangi
This week we have been learning about the treaty of waitangi. Did you know Very few Maori spoke English, So a translator named Henry Williams and his son Edward translated it in only one night. That’s one of the reasons the treaty was misunderstood.. Also Some chiefs told not to sign the treaty. Because the British stole their land But Two chefs Hone Heka Pokal and Tamati waka Nene said to sign the treaty because it would stop fights between tribes and that trades would be easier and between Maori and British. Here is some of my treaty of waitangi work.
Do you know much about the treaty? If you do Can you please tell me?
