Aotearoa New Zealand Curriculum Links: Tino rangatiratanga me te kāwanatanga | Government and organisation Te Tiriti o Waitangi | The Treaty of Waitangi was signed in different places. The two versions of the Treaty say different things about who would have authority. Māori understandings were based on the version in te reo Māori, which the vast majority of Māori signed.
