The title: The Treaty of Waitangi What Really Happened
Text type: Film
Text creator: Peter Burger
Text purpose: To show every one what happened and understand more about Waitangi.
In class we watched a video on how the Maori people and British people came up with the treaty and agreed on signing it. Before the treaty everyone was trading, losing stuff and not having a great time so the British came up with the idea to make a treaty in English and Maori so everyone can read it. It took quite a bit of hard work and everyone speaking their part, some chiefs of New Zealand did not want to sign it and felt like their rights were being taken away but some thought it would bring peace. So in the end more chiefs signed than the chiefs who did not sign the treaty and since then New Zealand has been apart of the British colony.
