Te Tiriti o Waitangi #2

Te Tiriti o Waitangi #2

Hi readers, today I am going to be sharing some answers from the second sheet we need to blog about on Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
We got given questions then we had to answer them on a sheet, after we did all the answers that we could we had to blog about them without saying the question, just writing about them.
Here is a (link) for you to watch.

In 1830's the population went down from around 100,000 thousand to 80,000 - 70,000.

2 reasons the population went down lower was mainly from war and diseases.
The name of the main settlement was Russell Kororareka.

The rangatira and missionaries were unhappy about what was happening in their town. (British taking over eg. Partying, unfair trades, prostituting etc.)

The British saw France as a treat because the British were colonising New Zealand.

Around 500 chiefs from the rangatira signed the treaty.

A problem the way the treaty was written was the translation for the Maori.

In Maori Tino Rangatiratanga is having your own way.

Sovereignty means the government of England.

 Kawanatanga is another word for government.

 Hone Heke cut down 3 North flags just to show his frustration for what was happening in the north.

The Maori made trenches to beat the British in the wars.

I hope you enjoyed reading my post and learnt something, if you have any feedback or positive comment put them in the comments.
Bye!!

  1. Wow Shania, these are fantastic sentences explaining lots of facts about Te Tiriti o Waitangi. I am very impressed that you have recalled so much information and that you have explained why there was a drop in the Maori population and how the treaty was wrongly translated. Ka pai!
