THIS MONTH IN HISTORY

The Treaty was first signed in February, 1840.

The English- and Māori-language versions held different meanings, and Māori and Europeans therefore had different expectations of the treaty’s terms. Ever since, resolution of these differences has presented New Zealand with challenges.
