	Treaty of Waitangi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During the late 1960s and 1970s the Treaty of Waitangi became the focus of a strong Māori protest movement which rallied around calls for the government to `honour the treaty' and to `redress treaty grievances'.
		On 10 October 1975 the Treaty of Waitangi Act, which was to provide for the observance and confirmation of the principles of the Treaty, received the royal assent.
		Because of the short length and limited scope of the Treaty, it is not a suitable document to be a constitution and is not recognised as such.

		The Treaty was initially signed by Captain William Hobson and several English residents, on behalf of the Crown, and approximately 45 Maori chiefs.
		The purposes of the Treaty were to ‘protect Maori interests, to promote the settlers’ interests in acquiring land and to secure the Crown’s position in New Zealand’ (Nettheim, Meyers and Craig, 123).
		The Treaty was intended by the Maori to require the British Crown to fulfill the function of governorship to preserve law and order between Maori and Pakeha (European Settlers), to protect Maori trade, and to guarantee Maori control of land and other resources.

	Treaty of Waitangi and the Maori Ethnic Movement
		Either way, the Treaty of Waitangi is amazingly symbolic of the distance between the Maori and the Pakeha as there was in the beginning, and as there is now.
		The British version of the Treaty granted the Maori the rights of citizenship and obliged the Crown to protect the Maori "in the exercise of their government over their lands, villages, and treasures." These parts are made clear in both languages.
		The Treaty was signed before any large influx of settlers arrived, as it was born out of a desire to shelter the Maori from the inevitable plagues of future European immigration.

	HowTo Understand Treaty of Waitangi
		The Treaty of Waitangi has been the subject of much legal and academic debate in New Zealand in the last two decades.
		Even if the English version of the Treaty were treated as the binding and operative version, it is generally agreed that, under Article 2 of the Treaty, Maori retained all their possessions, including lands, forest and fisheries, unless they freely parted with them.
		The Maori version of the Treaty guaranteed "te tino rangatiratanga o o ratou wenua or ratou kainga me o ratou taonga katoa", which may be translated as "the unqualified exercise of their chieftanship over their lands over their villages and over their treasures all".

	The Treaty of Waitangi - an introduction
		The Treaty of Waitangi was an agreement made in 1840 between the British Crown and over five hundred Maori chiefs of New Zealand.
		The wording of the treaty in English indicated that the chiefs were ceding to Britain the sovereignty of New Zealand and were giving the Crown an exclusive right of pre-emption of such lands as the Maori wished to sell.
		The treaty in Maori was deemed to convey the meaning of the English version (only 39 chiefs signed the treaty in the English language). Williams said he had done his best to translate the English but for some words there was no exact Maori equivalent.
