The Treaty of Waitangi - Wananga

Kia Ora,

So the last week we have been watching a document for Waitangi Day, we had to pay really good attention to it because we have to write a story or a summary about what happened in the movie/film.

The first thing that happened in the film is that the Governor & The Pakeha's wrote a Treaty for the Maori's that have came across to be convinced to stay and be helped out by helping the Pakeha's, So the Māori's had the chance to speak up and say what they want about staying the the Pakeha's.

When they were up there doing their speech's there was a lot of arguing about the topic they have been force to talk about, there was a lot of debating and some of the Chiefs had a lot of good stuff to say about the Pakeha's consideration.

So they had a night to figure out what they wanted to do in the morning because they either got the chance to Sign the Treaty or go back and do what they were originally doing by there selves, but over night they came to conclusion and do some more speech's to see how they were actually feeling.

They went up there and the Governor got someone to hold Ink & A Feather in front of this piece of paper that they might consider to sign, But the thing only the Chiefs got to sign the Treaty and decide what they wanted to do and the others had to do whatever the Chief had to do.

But after they signed the Treaty everyone started to be more happy than they were and they got free blankets and Tabacco
