The treaty of waitangi

 Treaty

In wananga class we were given a task to go to as site and pick one of the books to read. I chose the book written by Claudia Orange called ¨What happened at Waitingi?¨. This book is about what happened when the Maori and the British agreed on signing the treaty.  Here are 3 facts that I learnt about what happened, the treaty was first signed on the 6th of Febuary 1840, The Queen extended her protection to the Māori people and granted them ‘all the rights and privileges of British subjects, the treaty of Waitangi was signed in James Busby´s house.
