19th C• 1840 - Political and military necessity to treat Maori as
equals – Belgrave• Later – Settlers viewed Maori as an impediment• J. Soames (NZ Co.) 1843 – Treaty a ‘praiseworthy device for
amusing and pacifying savages for the moment.’• Maori didn’t sell land as fast as expected – belief in native
title decreased– 1846 Wasteland policy
• Commitment to ToW decreased as no. of settlers increased• Swainson – Crown had no authority over those that didn’t
sign– Rejected – NZ Wars
• O’Malley 1999 – Land sales mini-treaties – piecemeal extension of sovereignty
• 1860s – Crown more able to enforce its view of sovereignty– Land sales, population swamping

Ngata’s explanation of the Treaty 1922
• Worried about Maori protest relying on treaty• Already had access to centre of politics – no need
to focus on Treaty• Ngata had mana – explanation carried weight• Ignored Maori version – said Maori had transferred
chiefly authority forever• Objective – stop Maori wasting energy on protest
rather than gaining reasonable benefits from govt allowed in English version
• Still concerned – customary fishing rights (A2) vs Queen’s Chain and 3 mile limit (A3)

Pakeha understanding• Limited understanding of the treaty – limits ability to
redress• Textbooks
– 1888 text - ‘The white race is at present the most powerful. White men are the best scholars and the best workers.’
– NZ Graphic Reader 6th book 1900 – ‘The rights of the natives under the treaty have been respected and they themselves do not complain that any of its provisions have been unduly strained or arbitrarily set aside’
– Our Nation’s Story 1928 – Treaty ‘the fairest treaty ever made between Europeans and a native race’
• Treaty not compulsory until later 20th C
