Treaty of Waitangi
The Treaty of Waitangi was signed between Maori and the British Crown. This was to bring peace to both countries because Maori was treated unfairly, many promises were broken, then the Waitangi Tribunal was made to investigate disputes. Over time the rules were changed and to this day we can honour the Maori culture, language, history, and beliefs
Today I honour the treaty by making sure we learn about the Maori culture, language, history, and beliefs in my classroom.
