Explaining the Treaty of Waitangi

Today is Waitangi Day here in Aotearoa / NZ. Waitangi Day is where we commemorate the first signing of New Zealand’s founding document: Te Tiriti o Waitangi, The Treaty of Waitangi, on 6 February 1840. This video is filmed at the Waitangi Treaty Grounds in Northland NZ which I can’t recommend highly enough to visit. #WaitangiDay #WaitangiTreatyGrounds #Waitangi #Aotearoa #NewZealand | Bare Kiwi
