      THE TREATY OF WAITANGI AND IMMIGRATION IN 1840

      The Treaty is recognised as the first immigration agreement between Maori and Pakeha (European settlers). The
      Treaty originally allowed settlers to immigrate peacefully to New Zealand under the British flag. The Treaty was important, firstly, to control the thousands of future emigrants to Aotearoa New Zealand, and secondly, to protect the rights of Maori people. The benefits to both parties were clear – settlement rights for Pakeha and the natural right of the tangata whenua (the people of the land) would be respected and affirmed.

      THE TREATY OF WAITANGI AND IMMIGRATION IN THE 21ST CENTURY

      When you come to live in Aotearoa New Zealand, you should prioritise getting to know about the Treaty, as it will help you to
