The Maori people population dropped cause of sickness and war, the name of the main settlement in Aotearoa New Zealand is Russel - kororareka. The Rangatira and missionaries is unhappy with the happening in town because of British taking over and over partying. The Treaty of waitangi was neglected by rats, water and rotted.

The guy that set up the New Zealand Company was Edward Gibson.
The British send Hobson to New Zealand to stop the war. The population of Maori people that went to Sign the treaty was 40. The problem of the was the treaty was written is no being translated properly. Tino Rangatiratanga is having your own Authority. Sovereignty means controlling the crown. The Kawanatanga thought to mean that misused. The Maori believed that it was going to help them but they sold the land of little fortune. Hono Heke showed his frustration by cutting down the flag of the British. The methods that the Maori used to beah the British was log walls, pits and trenches. Here it is.

This is a great summary of Te Tiriti o Waitangi Alex. You have listed heaps of great facts which are written in your own words. One small mistake is that 500 Maori chiefs signed the treaty. There were 40 that signed it on the first day and then it was taken around New Zealand and signed by the rest of the chiefs. Keep up the good work.
