I am going to share what we have been doing for hur1 in high school. We have been learning about Te Tiriti o Waitangi/Treaty of Waitangi. I'll be telling you some facts about the treaty of Waitangi. But first I'll be telling you some facts. In the late 1800's the population of the maori was 100,000-120,000. But in 1830's the population of Maori was 80.000-70.000. The main two reasons for the drop in populations was wars and disease most of the disease come from the British. That's all of the side facts am going to share with you. In 6 of February 1840's the treaty was signed but there was a problem with the treaty the Maori and the British treaty was different. The big difference was the British on said that they would have NZ all for them self's. But the Maori's one said that NZ was lead by the Maoris.
That is all the facts am going to share I'll give you a photo of the Treaty of Waitangi.
Kia Ora Ken
ReplyDeleteThis is a great blog about the history of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. I like the way that you have written this information in your own words to show that you understand what you have learnt.
It would be great if you could explain the treaty differences in a bit more detail. Yes, the Maori treaty said that the Maori would have authority over their land and people. The British version said that the British would have sovereignty over New Zealand. And so the wars began!
Keep up the awesome work.
