So in one of my pervious posts I told you that in class we have been learning about The Treaty of Waitangi so from what Ive learnt so far Ill tell you what I understand.
So in 1840 the British crown was sent by the Queen to go to New Zealand to get the Treaty of Waitangi day signed over 500 maori reafushed to sigh but over 40 maori lead by Ngāpuhi’s Hōne Heke Pokai signed the Treaty of Waitangi.That pretty much somes up what i no about Waitangi day.
What im still want to know is why did the British crown lie about giving the land back?
I also want to know why they wanted more land as they have heaps already?
If you have soem of my answers or want to ask me a question please comment.
A good post Taliesha. Hopefuly we will get to talk more about the topic in class, and possibly share your questions. When you discover the answer, or find any new wanderings, don't forget to keep the topic thread going.
