te tritit o waitangi

Intro:
 hello bloggers, today i am going to be talking about Te tiriti o waitangi and giving you guys some random facts about it because that was what i learnt watching a video and the things i have wrote i am going to convert it in to sentences.

In the late 1830s the population for maori was 70 to 80,000.

Tino rangatiratanga means chiefly authority or self government well that is what the maori had thought it meant.

Maori believed that  if they had signed the treaty they would have ownership over there land and would always have their own land.

When hone heke had found that the treaty of waitangi was not fair as the europeans had told them hone heke decide to cut down 3 of the europeans flags and the he decided to light the europeans base down.

About 40 chiefs had signed the treaty to keep peace for there land and  for themself and family.

When the treaty was written every thing had changed for the maoris as the europeans had more right then the maori even though it was the maoris land.

Europeans had told maoris the kawanatanga was governorship and the maoris thought thats was  the treaty meant.

The british saw franca as a threat when the treatys was signed because the british had more land and the would sell it to maoris not the french.

There were two reason the population had dropped one was war when the war had started a lot of maoris had died but also another reason was dieses as diseases came the maori had not had enough medicine to help everyone.

The missionaries were very unhappy with the british because the had brung alcohol to New zealand and  had made New Zealand worse.

That's all of it goodbye .
