Date: 12/02/2021
Summary:
The British thought in depth about the Treaty and was expecting the Māori to accept the treaty and the rules that were set out by the British. The Treaty had some of the following rules: Māori gives the crown an exclusive right to buy their lands, and in return are granted full ownership of their lands, forests, fisheries and other possessions and Māori are given the rights and privileges of the British.
Arguments started forming after the treaty was heard about and started discussing between each other whether or not they should sign the treaty, because the Māori were concerned about their land, people rights being taken away.
The Māori Chiefs signed the Treaty and around 530 chiefs signed the treaty at the end, There was still a lot of chiefs that did not sign it but it was enough. Some chiefs like Hono Heke wanted to be at the top of the treaty to prove that they are more powerful than the rest.
After all chiefs signed the treaty they were granted nice blankets and tobacco for each chief then they went separate ways
