New Zealand History - Literacy, Task 1.

 New Zealand History - Literacy.

Te Tiriti o Waitangi.


The Treaty of Waitangi. A great and an amazing memorial event that first happened in 1840. Our great Maori Chiefs having to and willing to protect and keep their country and homeland safe. In 1840, A Britain man William Hobson was sent to take over New Zealand and was set to work writing a Treaty. The Treaty of Waitangi is a very important event to celebrate and be proud of. As an Kiwi, I am very grateful for our free land that was just about to be taken over by Hobson.  Hone Heke and His Wife Harriet with Four Attendants - The Fletcher Trust  Collection


The Treaty was a big for our two chiefs, they were trying to give this country freedom and great justice. But since Hobson and his men had tricked our chiefs, they had to cause a war so their land would not be taken away. New Zealand is a very beautiful country and so many people should be noticing by now that we wouldn’t be here right now if our Maori Men hadn't won the war because of their lies. 


This event is really important to Aotearea because it reminds us all who we really are and it also tells us that no matter how many decades come by, this country will still be remembered as a strong country, we had our people fight for our future and our freedom. But it is really important to New Zealand because The Treaty promised to protect Māori culture and to enable Māori to continue to live in New Zealand as Māori. At the same time, the Treaty gave the Crown the right to govern New Zealand and to represent the interests of all New Zealanders.
