Qoute:- "Professor Elizabeth Rata, discusses events at Waitangi and her research on the two Treaties of Waitangi"
This confirms that there are "Two Treaties".
When and where was the 2nd one signed, and by whom ?
And still I have not heard mention from 'historians", 'politicians' or other 'educators' including Professor Rata,the existence of our 1839 Royal Charter/Letters Patent (Law of Nations) which placed New Zealand under the laws and dependency of New South Wales, (before te Tiriti o Waitangi was conceived, written and signed) and our 1840 Royal Charter/Letters Patent which separated New Zealand from New South Wales and made New Zealand into an independent British Colony with a Governor and Constitution under one flag and one law for all, irrespective of race, colour or creed.
Curious No??
Ever rational ER points out that she has not been on RNZ since 2006 (?) Yet over the last few years I have heard Ellah Henri, Motu, Moxam, Packer, Ruakawa-Tait each many times, all singing from the same song book devoid of reasoned justification.
Te Whakaputunga preceded the Treaty and The charter declaring independence from the crown.
Thirty-four northern chiefs signed He Whakaputanga on 28 October 1835. Busby sent it to the King, and it was formally acknowledged by the Crown in May 1836.
The power of the British government given to a governor.
The 1840 New Zealand charter vested the power of the British government in a governor. This ornate document was hand-written and is headed by the royal coat of arms. Representations of Britannia (a symbol of Britain) and Justitia (justice) are situated on either side of the arms
