Waitangi Day

Our 45 minute Inquiry was about Waitangi Day, here is what I learnt.

The Waitangi treaty was made to bring the Brittish and Maori people together. 

The Waitnagi treaty was signed on the sixth of February, 1840 by multiple Maori tribes, with a maximum of 240 people. The treaty became official in 1934 and became a holiday in 1974. The signing of the treaty was witness by six English men, James Busby, Henry Williams, Richard Taylor, John Mason, Samuel Ironside and James Stuart Freeman. 

There were nine copies of the treaty made. 

The main cause of the protesting was to, 'remind', the government to respect and honour the treaty. 

Thank you for reading what information I have collected.
