Waitangi What Really Happened

 In social studies, last term we had to watch seven episodes of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and what really happened behind the history of the signing.The one thing I noticed that was generous, while watching the episodes was how the British gave the Maori people, blankets and tobacco.The most thoughtful thing I noticed was when the governor said” He iwi tahi tatou” (we are one people). It was thoughtful because he included all cultures people). It was very fun and interesting learning about the history behind all the episodes of the signing. We had learnt quite a lot how it was back in those days. While watching the parts I was very unsure on why Jack Jones sell a Maori girl to a man and how they sell chief heads as well.
