Te Tiriti o Waitangi I have read this journal to the class and we discussed how the article in English and Te Reo Maori were different. The word Sovereignty in English was different in Te reo Maori version Kawantanga which means governorship. 500 chiefs would have signed the Treaty thinking that the Queen would help govern New Zealand to have fair trade and put peace toward intertribal war between the chiefs. We discussed how this is still a debate today in New Zealand and there are few Maori families that are still feeling this is unfair. By reading this book the students are getting some understanding of why we have Treaty of Waitangi and how this has a huge influence today in New Zealand and our country.
