Te Tiriti O Waitangi

Hi,
In Hurumanu 1 we have done a note taking while were watching the video so the teachers gave us a piece of paper to write down the notes but there is also questions that we have to answer so here is the note that I have written on the piece of paper.

Did you know that the Maori's population in the late 1830's and 70 to 80,000 Maori people and that is the population of Maori. The population also dropped down because of the of the virus that other people from other countries brought to New Zealand so they had diseases.

The name's of the main settlements in the town in New Zealand are Kororareka and in English is Russel. Also in the early days when the Missionaries were there they weren't happy because the people in the town was selling Alcohols to other people to get drunk.

Also in the early days the British people saw that france was a threat because they wanted to take over New Zealand to gain more money In 1833 the people set up a United Tribe of New Zealand. If you did not know who set up the New Zealand company it is Edward Gabin there plans was to create a New Zealand company.

 When they were signing the treaty the British people send Hobson to sign the treaty to be fair with Maori people. If you wanted to know how many Maori People signed the treaty there was like around 500 Maori people signed the treaty.Do you know how did the paper of treaty been rip and look wet it is because of the rats the chewed the treaty and also burned it on fire also got thrown in the rubbish bin.

Did you know the translation of the treaty to English was different because the Maori people saying like they were happy but in the English translation they are angry to the British people. Tino Rangatirangata means that they thought they have a self authority in the government. If you also don't know sovereignty it mean s Having a control all over the country. The Kawanatanga mean Governorship.

Do you know that the Maori people believe that the British people would have control all over the country of New Zealand. Do you know who is Hone Heke he is the one who showed his frustration he cut of the British people flag 3 times and also burned the whole town of the British people.

Do you know that the Maori People use methods to beat the British Army in the Northern War they use Loogs, trenches, screens too slowdown the enemy and musket to shoot the enemy that are close to them. They also build a underground bunker so other Maori people would be safe.
