Te Tiriti O Waitangi

Hello people, So last week  we did a DLO of Te Tiriti O Waitangi so here is mine........

The Treaty

                                         The Treaty 

The Treaty was neglected early on after signing. It got water damage, rats gnawed it and it almost burnt in a fire.

The Maori population in the 1830s was reduced to 70-80000 because of disease and wars brought about by the British settlers. The main settlement was Russell and the missionaries and Rangitira didn't like the rough sailors who were always partying and fighting. They abused young Maori women and were often drunk.

Edward Gibbon Wakefield wanted to buy cheap land from Maori and sell to rich Englishmen, then bring out workers from the UK.

The united tribes of NZ was set up to keep the French out of governing NZ. A man called Hobson came to help the Maori get a fair deal and agree to signing the Treaty.

Tino Rangitiratanga refers to authority of the chiefs, but in the English translation, this was given to the crown (Queen). 

Potatoe war

The first European to arrive in Aotearoa in 1642 was Abel Tasman.  He named the land Neuveau Zelandia. The next explorer that arrived in  Aotearoa in 1769 was James Cook. Tu Paia was the first navigator to help the explorers. The explorers brought diseases with them and also pigs, rats and potatoes. Muskets were guns that they fought with. The musket wars ended in 1840. Maori  outnumbered Pakeha 40 to 1.

e.g. Well known tennis player, Tony Rutene, landed in the wrong town for his latest tennis tournament. He was stuck there with no transport, no money, no food and no communications. His teammates had no idea where he was and after a week gave him up for dead because he was unable to access  a phone or computer given that everyone in the town was in lockdown. Noone travelled out of their bubble and it was only by chance that a helicopter flew over and saw Tony’s message in a vacant plot. ‘HELP!’ The pilot landed  on the plot and at a safe distance was able to sort Tony out and fly him back home to his relieved family and teammates.

Space mission biologist Mark Watney landed accidentally on Mars after a storm. He had no food or no contact with NASA to get him off Mars.
