Treaty of Waitangi

What is waitangi day and why do we celebrate it? every year on the 6th of February. New Zealand marks the signing of the treaty in Waitangi in the year 1840. In 1840 the representatives of the British crown and over 500 maori chiefs signed what is often considered to be New Zealand founding document.

What were some of the problems / issues with the treaty? the land was lost through a combination of private and government purchases, outright confiscation and Native Land court practices that made it difficult for maori to maintain their land under traditional ownership structures. there was some purchases of maori land before the treaty was signed.
