Waitangi Treaty Ground

The Waitangi Treaty Ground is a significant historic site in New Zealand where the Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840. This treaty marked an agreement between Māori chiefs and the British Crown, establishing New Zealand as a British colony while recognizing Māori land rights and authority. The site today hosts the official memorial and museum, serving as a symbol of New Zealand's founding and ongoing journey toward partnership, understanding, and reconciliation between Māori and the wider community. It’s an important place for reflection on the nation's history and identity.
