Facsimiles of the Declaration of Independence and the Treaty of Waitangi
Unknown
Notes
The Treaty of Waitangi was, and still is, important to the Maori for its affirmations concerning land. It is doubtful if it was meant as a legal document, for its authors knew that only the simplest and clearest ideas could be understood by a native people with no experience of a civilized legal code.Contents
