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 eventuality lead to the Maoris war. Where Hone Heke chopped down the flagpole 5 times.
