The Treaty of Waitangi is a contract or agreement between Queen Victoria of England. The Maori people were trying to solve the problems to make peace for our
land.
On February 6th 1840 the Maori chiefs were talking over who was going to sign the treaty. The British were talking about the Treaty and how it would bring peace .
The signing of the treaty was a significant event in New Zealand's history. Unfortunately there were misunderstandings over how it was translated which eventually lead to the Maori wars where Hone Heke chopped down the flag pole 5 times.
