	Declaration of the Independence of New Zealand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The chiefs signed this declaration of independence and in the process established themselves as representing a proto-state under the title of the "United Tribes of New Zealand".
		Most New Zealanders consider the Treaty of Waitangi as the founding document of the nation of New Zealand/Aotearoa, with formal sovereignty vested in the British crown, but the existence of different versions of this treaty, in both Māori and English, and its brevity, leave this subject to arguments over the preferred interpretation.
		Note that New Zealanders overall seem to have little interest in asserting a definitive independence break from Britain as a focus of national identity, preferring to stress ethnic co-operation and an independent foreign policy as markers of nationhood while maintaining a nostalgic respect or connection with the former metropolitan power.

		A declaration of independence is a proclamation of the independence of a newly formed or reformed country from part or the whole of the territory of another, or a document containing such a declaration.
		Declarations of independence are generally made by one side without the consent of the previous government, and hence are often called unilateral declaration of independence or UDI.
		In international law, unilateral declarations of independence are generally frowned upon, since preservation of territory is one of the few things that the countries of the world universally agree on.
