He walked past me very frustrated I calmly talked to him but he didn't want my attention, so I tried telling them to stop it but it wasn't quite working.

Presayus Waitangi

The Treaty Today.

With the signing of the Treaty in 1840, Maori and Pakeha began the long journey towards creating a nation together.

Throughout this time, the Treaty has never lost its importance. And today, perhaps more than ever, it is helping to forge productive working relationships between Maori and other New Zealanders.

The journey continues – and it involves everyone living in this country.

The Treaty up close

British representatives wrote the Treaty in a hurry, then spent seven months working to get as many Rangatira (chiefs) to sign it as possible. But the Treaty meant different things to different people.

Nearby you can find out exactly what the Treaty said, and see why it has caused so much debate – both in 1840 when it was signed and now

Maori and the British

Māori and British first met when Captain James Cook visited these shores in 1769. Over the next seventy years contact increased, until the two cultures were linked by complex personal, political, and business relationships.

In this part of the exhibition you can explore how this relationship built up and led to the signing of the Treaty in 1840.
