**Before you watch the Voki ready the background info I wrote it will make more sense if you do.**
Hey, Bloggers how are you, this weeks post is about the treaty of Waitangi here is some background info. When the wars between Maori and the British came to a halt it was because both parties were going to sign an agreement, that agreement is now known as the treaty of Waitangi. Henry Williams and his son Edward were put on the task to translate the treaty overnight, of course, since they were not fluent in both languages they had to translate it to the best of their abilities.
With this treaty was translated there was a misunderstanding on a few things such as one the British version of the treaty is said that the British have Sovereignty over the land but on the Maori Version, it says that Maori has sovereignty over the land, and from there on there have been arguments on who ones the right of the sovereignty some say Maori some say British.
Bye Bloggers!!
