waitangi

Waitangi Waitangi is a locality in the Bay of Islands on the North Island of New Zealand. It is close to the town of Paihia, 60 kilometres north of Whangarei. Waitangi is a Māori-language name meaning weeping waters. Every year on 6 February, New Zealand marks the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840. In that year. The British Crown and over 500 Māori chiefs signed what is often considered to be New Zealand’s founding document. For some people, Waitangi Day is a holiday. Hobson and others stressed the Treaty’s benefits while playing down the effects of British sovereignty on rangatiratanga. The Treaty in Māori was deemed to convey the meaning of the English version, but there are important differences. Different understandings of the Treaty have long been the subject of debate(a formal discussion). From the 1970s especially, many Māori have called for the terms of the Treaty to be honoured.
