Waitangi Day

 Waitangi Day


   Facts about Watangi Day:                                                        

- The Treaty of Waitangi was signed on February 6 1840, and the 6th of each year is recognised as Waitangi Day - 43 to 46 Maori rangatira, several English people, and Captain William Hobson signed the Treaty of Waitiangi. - Missionaries and legislators stated that more than 500 Maori signed the Treaty on nine separate sheets between February and September 1840 at approximately 50 signing meetings.


  Points of view on Waitangi Day:

Maori perspective: The Maori point was Positive. It shows that Waitangi day takes place all around the nation and how they unite together to celebrate the special day. It is celebrated publicly alongside sporting events, a feast/hangi, performances, and festivals. Its a day to discover how to develop interest in and understanding of how they can improve and become a stronger community.

Pakeha perspective: The Pakeha point was Negative. Their views are that Waitangi Day is pointless and that they are ignorant. They believe there is no reason to celebrate, and they openly declare that they believe it to be a yearly ceremony of ignorance and anger.

My perspective: In my opinion, it is beautiful and inspiring to see the Maori community defending their rights and gathering together to commemorate it.I think we should celebrate the day because the Treaty of Waitangi means a lot to the people of Aoteroa and their ancestor battles should be acknowledged, I believe that celebrating it is essential and significant.
