Waitangi Day.

Why are these people carrying this banner?












The Treaty Of Waitangi was named after the Bay Of Islands. The Treaty Of Waitangi was signed on the 6 of February 1804 by over 500 maori chiefs.

The Treaty is the founding document of New Zealand. Waitangi Day became a holiday since 1974. Waitangi means water tears.

There are 9 copies of the Treaty and they are all similar. The Treaty is still valid today.
