Event: Waitangi Day
Activities: The Treat of Waitangi, often referred to simply as "The Treaty", marked the British Government's assumption of sovereignty over New Zealand and was intended to regulate relations between Maori and Pakeha (Europeans). It was initially signed on 6 February 1840, at Waitangi, by Lieutenant-Governor Hobson and a number of Maori chiefs who did not represent all the tribes. It was never binding agreement in international law, but there is strong feeling regarding its adoption as a foundation of New Zealand constitional law. It claims to guarantee the Maori possession in perpetuity of their lands, forests and fisheries and to grant them the rights and privileges of British citizens. The importance of the Treat is reflected in displays available at the Waitangi Treaty House in Nothland.
