Treaty


Intro:
On the 6th of February 1840 there was a Treaty between Queen Victoria of England and the Maori people. The 40 Chiefs gathered around and discussed whether or not  to sign the treaty of Waitangi. The signing of this contract or agreement  was trying to solve some problems for new Zealand at that time.


One of the problems  was lawlessness. New Zealand was dangerous for the people to live in because there were drunk sailors and lots of people selling muskets. There were Europeans who wanted food and also land.  There was musket wars  between Maori tribes.

  There were 3 principles in the treaty. They were the  three P’s; Participation  & Partnership  & Protection.
