The signing of the Treaty of Waitangi was a pivotal point in ensuring equality for all New Zealanders.
Agree
got people talking about Māori eventually
Māori shared language with the British
Disagree
everyone ignored the treaty
shouldn't have made it if you weren't going to follow it
land got taken away
Māori didn't get houses or land
government removing rights with laws
made a law that land had to be owned individually which made hapū land titles difficult
couldn't vote because didn't technically own land
muskets created inequality within Māori because some iwi had more sophisticated weapons
two versions of the treaty were different
one gave equality
the other didn't
Māori soldiers weren't allowed to go to war or had to go in separate battalions
weren't allowed land when they got back
couldn't speak te reo in schools
forced to get rid of their culture and become British
broke almost all of the promises they made
arrested without trial when protesting with passive resistance
what happened in South Africa
would have been really good if British had actually stuck to it
more rights than they did have but still not enough
land
rights and laws
loss of culture
resources
health
language
war
