On 6 February 1840, a very special document was signed by the Māori chiefs and the British settlers in New Zealand. It was called the Treaty of Waitangi (Te Tiriti o Waitangi) and it outlined how the two groups would live together and work together in New Zealand. It was the first document of its kind to be signed in the entire world. The Treaty was signed in a place called Waitangi in northern New Zealand.

Hi there Brooke, thanks for sharing some ideas about what you might get up to if you ever visited Waitangi. You've selected some really outgoing and adventurous things to do. I'm glad you've chosen one activity that is focused on the history of Waitangi.
