The Treaty of Waitangi

WALT write our ideas about the Treaty of Waitangi.

The Treaty Of Waitangi

The Maori people were in NZ first.

Then some English people came to NZ.

The English had problems.

Some Maori people felt sad so they got some help.

Maori people asked the King for help.

James Busby and William Hobson came.

They had a meeting with the Maori people.

Then James Busby and William Hobson made some rules.

So they got a big paper and wrote 3 rules.

Look after each other.

Look after things in NZ.

Look after NZ.

The English people and the Maori people signed the big paper. 

They agreed. They became partners.

They never fought and killed each other again.

The big paper with rules was called The Treaty of Waitangi.

The Treaty of Waitangi made NZ safe.

On the big paper, the rules were on top

and the names were on the bottom.
