Treaty of Waiting - Collaborative Summary

Te Tiriti o Waitangi is a very important time in New Zealand history. In 1860, representatives from the British Crown and Maori Chiefs signed a treaty of agreement, to let the Maori have ownership over their land and property. Partnership, Participation, Protection (or the 3 P's) were the underlining principles under the treaty. They got the treaty to be signed by over 500 Maori chiefs.

 

In reading we looked at the Treaty of Waitangi, and explored what really happened in our history/past. In small collaborative groups, we read something that explained the story and summarized our understanding. I worked with Florence, Sakina, Haylee, Taheesha, Miiana, and Ellenora. The highlighted words in our summary above, are the keywords we used from our vocabulary list.
