The Treaty of Waitangi.

By Rylee Murphy.

Why the Treaty of Waitangi was

signed

. The Treaty of Waitangi was signed because it was an agreement between

the maori and the pakeha.

. It was so that new zealand was a land of peace.

.About 40 chiefs signed the Treaty of Waitangi on 6 February 1840. By the end

of the year, about 500 other Maori, including 13 women, had put their names or

moko to the document; all but 39 signed the Maori text. While some had clear

expectations about what their agreement would bring, others chose not to sign

the Treaty at all..

How many chiefs signed the

treaty?

About 40 chiefs signed the Treaty of Waitangi on 6 February 1840. By the end

of the year, about 500 other Maori, including 13 women, had put their names or

moko to the document; all but 39 signed the Maori text. While some had clear

expectations about what their agreement would bring, others chose not to sign

the Treaty at all.Lieutenant-Governor William Hobson expected the chiefs to

mull over the Maori text of the Treaty for three days. He was surprised to be

called to the meeting on 6 February, so he arrived at Waitangi alone and in

plain clothes except for his plumed hat. Former British Resident James Busby

called up the chiefs, starting with Hone Heke. Each signing was followed by a

handshake and greeting from Hobson: 'He iwi tahi tatou' (We are [now] one

people). About half of the chiefs had also signed the Declaration of

Independence.

What our country was like in

1840?

Our country was a land of war and land

was sold in unorganised way all over

New Zealand. There was no government

or set of rules to govern everybody.
