Te Tiriti O Waitangi
Yesterday we Watched a short movie, about Te Tiriti O Waitangi, the video is 20 minutes in within the 20 minutes we had to fill out a sheet that had 17 questions, so I am sharing 10 questions with you and the video.
I got 16 questions right out of 17 questions.
1. In 1830's the Maori population went down from 100,000 down to 70,000-80,000.
2. The 2 reasons that the Maori population was because of wars and disease.
3. The name of the main settlement was named Russell-Kororareka.
4. Some of the Maori people were unhappy about a town because The British were having lots of fights and making party's so the Maori people thought there were bad for the place.
5. When the northern war was on the Maori people hid in under ground bunkers and they used flak walls to hid behind, and when the British came to attack one person hid and then shot the British.
6. The British made a word that was part Maori and British. (word-Kawanatanga)
7. Tino Rangatiratanga means own authority.
8. When the British write the Tiriti they forgot to put another version in English version.
9. The Tiriti was signed by 500 chief's around New Zealand.
10. Hone Heke was unhappy about what was happening about the town in the north so he cut down there flag 3 times and then put it in fire so he could cut it down the third time, but he was not expecting 11 people to die.

Kia Ora Teagan! These are great facts that you have recalled from Te Tiriti o Waitangi. I like the way that you have written these in your own words, showing that you understand our history.
ReplyDeleteOne fact that is incorrect is that they didn't forget to write the treaty in English, but they didn't write the two versions the same. They had words that meant different things in the Maori and English versions, so both people thought that they would have authority over their land and laws.
I look forward to reading more of your blog posts.
