In August 1839 the British Government sent Captain William
Hobson out to New Zealand aboard "The Herald", as British Consul,
with orders to a part of New Zealand and place it under British rule.
His mission was to organize a treaty and get the Maori chiefs to
accept British sovereignty over all, or at least over parts of the
country. The British Government was anxious to establish
sovereignty in order to stabilize the degrading situation in New
Zealand.
William Hobson (1793-1842) was a British naval
commander and governor of New Zealand. He negotiated
the Treaty of Waitangi with the Maori chiefs, which
granted England sovereignty over New Zealand.

Thank you for watching our presentation
Of the treaty of Waitangi
Made by Eleanor Blatchford and Joshua paranihi
Welcome to our presentation we are doing the journey of the treaty of Waitangi we have gathered some information to give you and hope you will use it well.
The treaty took a bit more than one week to travel the country and be signed by all the settlers. It got signed by more than 500 people and theses people were in all different places of New Zealand.
Soon after the signing both the Maori and English drafts disappeared to this day they still have not been found.
As you see the treaty has gone through many years of bad treatment it was never looked after or cared about by the government.
That is all we could find about the journey of the treaty now to our next question which tribes refused to sign the treaty.
We found out that 5 tribes that refused to sign were The 5 tribes that did not sign the treaty of Waitangi were Tahoe, taraia, potatau te wherowhero, arawa and tuwharetoa.
