Treaty Research.

Who was the Treaty between? Māori and Europeans

How long was the Treaty binding for? Since 1840 (179 years old)

What are the positives and negatives of being bound in a treaty?

Positives Giving an extension for time for written submissions was "quality engagement" by the Government. “Well done”. Protection against the sale of Maori land will remain strong through a 75 per cent threshold for agreement among owners. The Government's recognition of landlocked land, and rating and valuation issues (although "belated") was commended. Countries trying to gain independence.

Negatives There were consultation flaws. The consultation hui in June last year breached legal standards, there wasn’t sufficient time or information for “meaningful participation” by Maori. If there is not more, properly informed and broad support for the bill, then the Government is in breach of the Treaty. Musket wars, Diseases, Drunken Sailors. Land and property of Maori being taken from them.

Are there any obvious similarities with people affected by the Treaty you have researched and those affected by the Treaty of Waitangi? Musket wars, Diseases, Drunk Sailors, British trying to take over, Scotland and New Zealand trying to gain independence, Land and property of Maori.
