The Treaty Of Waitangi

On the 6th February 1840, the Treaty of Waitangi was signed at Waitangi in the Bay of Islands. James Busby was regarded as the father of the Australian wine industry. But he was in NZ to help set up a treaty between Maori and Pakeha.

Henry Williams was a missionary who changed the English version of the treaty into Maori. Hone Heke was a Maori Rangitira (chief) and was leader in Northern New Zealand.

Protection, Partnership, Participation were used to bring the Maori and Pakeha altogether. The treaty was all about these 3 things. The chiefs were only over-protective of their land and treasures.

Protection means protecting someone.
Partnership means two people as partners working together.
Participation means joining in.

*how??


As I got out of bed I heard this loud noise coming from the second room so I got out of bed and went and had a look. It was my family saying happy birthday to my nephew because it was his 1st birthday. So a few seconds after that we all started cruising down to the ferry in the city. We were in Rarotonga on holiday. We all got out of the car and walked down to the ferry. I got to the ferry first. When I got on there I sat down on the chair.

A few hours after that we finally got to my Nana’s house. There were heaps of people there like my Nana, my Papa and my cousins. They were all happy that I was there because they haven’t seen me for quite a long time. And I really really miss my Nana and Papa. A few hours after that we all had a swim and I saw dolphins... they were nice. One of my cousins had a ride on the dolphin and it looked pretty cool. I didn’t want to because it looked scary so I got out of the water.

Then I went to get change because it was cold. My mum and aunties were setting the birthday up. While my nephew was with my dad getting some lollies,drinks and chips. By the time they got back all the kids were playing kinect. I was just helping my mum set up the birthday. When me and my mum and Aunty finished setting up the birthday we called all the kids and family in. To sing the happy birthday then we had a big feed and we all went back in to the water it was cool. I had a great time at the birthday. HORRAY for my nephew.
