Treaty of Waitangi KWL Chart

Treaty of Waitangi KWL Chart

What I know about the treaty.
What I want to know about the treaty.
What I have learned about the treaty of Waitangi.
The Treaty of Waitangi is the founding document of New Zealand.
How many people signed the treaty.?
In 1858 Waikato chief Te Wherowhero became the First Māori King. He had not signed the Treaty of Waitangi. Many māori supported the King, but 1some chiefs refused to put their trust in him.
It was signed by the white people arriving from england and the maori tribes, in Waitangi on the 6 February 1840.
Was the writing in english or was it in maori?
In 1945 the Centennial celebrated the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi as the nation’s founding moment. Copies of the Treaty of Waitangi were hung in every school and marae.


The Treaty of Waitangi Act established the Waitangi Tribunal as a way to learn about the problems the Maori had with the English when they broke the treaty. The act limited the problems to those that happened after 1975.


In 1987 a major new book about the Treaty of Waitangi was published: The Treaty of Waitangi, written by historian Claudia Orange. This was the start of a big wave of studies on the Treaty and its role in New Zealand.
