What i have here is 10 things for the Treaty of Waitangi
So In who are we,we have watched a video and it was the Aotearoa history show.What I have found out is...
There was a prisoner that was put into prison for three and 1/2 years.And just like all prisoners they had one dream back then.To get filthily rich so he did his 3 years and when it was time he sailed across the sea and finally he found 3 islands that had not seen once he got there he as soon as he saw the people that lived on the islands had an evil plan to rip off the Maori.So to the Maori he went and sold weapons, armour,materials,But when Sir Edward Wake field left the 3 islands the Maori found out he ripped them off they declared revenge to Wake-field. 
Hi Kyle, good effort (I followed the link from Twitter). Edward Gibbon Wakefield is indeed a perplexing figure. His efforts to colonise New Zealand straddle the signing of the Treaty, the NZ Association being created in 1837, gaining its charter from the Colonial Office soon after. Wakefield and his brothers are responsible for the settling of New Plymouth and Nelson. Interestingly, the Wakatu Incorporation won a Civil court case using Torts, to correct what was argued as a wrong regarding the seizing of land in Nelson. The case is interesting because it does not rely on the Treaty settlement process.
ReplyDeleteIn your reporting, it may be useful to watch your sentence structure, to make your descriptions clearer. However, the History is fascinating and fun to learn.
Kia Ora Kyle. You have recalled some interesting information on Edward Wakefield.
ReplyDeleteAs Ken has mentioned above, Wakefield's plan was to buy land cheaply from the Maori and sell it at a much higher price to European settlers. And thus the treaty was created to protect Maori from people like Wakefield.
It is interested to read about the Wakatu Incorporation, we should look into this.
Thanks for sharing your research and encouraging discussion.
