Day 5 Activity 2-The treaty of waitangi.

So in this second to last activity for week one day 5 it is talking about how the treaty of waitangi happened.It happened against the Moari's and the British people.So did not know how to communicate with each other so they had to teach each other how to speak in English to make it more easier.So in this acitivty we had to read information below from the NZ toursim website.

So below is the information that I read and what I had to do was name three

fun things that you can do as a visitor in Waitangi.

Waitangi, one of New Zealand's most significant historic sites, is where the Treaty of

Waitangi was signed in 1840 between the British Crown and more than 500 Maori

chiefs. The treaty agreed the terms by which New Zealand would become a British

colony.

Today the Treaty Grounds are an opportunity to learn about Maori culture and the

historical events associated with the signing of the treaty. Visit the Treaty House

itself to see a replica of the original treaty; marvel at the fully carved Maori meeting

house and one of the largest Maori war canoes in the country; and watch a film at

the visitor centre. Live kapa haka performances are also held regularly and there’s a

hotel located within the reserve that has a restaurant and bar.

Not only is Waitangi engaging from an educational point of view, it's also a very

beautiful place to explore. From the small semi-formal garden that surrounds the

Treaty House to the 6-kilometre forest walk that leads to Haruru Falls, the natural

environment is spectacular. The shoreline provides a continuously changing

panorama of the bay where warriors, whalers, sailors and settlers arrived in New

Zealand.
