Description

The Treaty of Waitangi signed in 1840, is the subject of much discussion, writing and debate. Europeans are often surprised by the interest. Maori are not surprised because for them this has always been a living treaty that documents the rights agreed last century. This book documents the main events and thinking that lead to and beyond the Treaty of Waitangi.
