Your assessment instructions for the 2014 Investigation

Year 13, you are currently working on your investigation internal. This is based on investigating circumstances, stake-holders, people involved in making it possible for a Treaty of Waitangi to be signed. Your focus questions will be about things like: who would gain economically from a Treaty being signed between the British Crown and the Maori Chiefs? What was the missionaries contribution to, and reasons for supporting the ToW?

Some of you have included investigating the motives of some particular chiefs. . Others have included the chiefs motivations around peacefulness after the huge numbers of Maori died fighting each other in the musket wars. You could also look at imperial causes - the maori believed the French were coming to take over their country and wanted protection by Britain's Queen. You could also look at the immediate reasons why the British wanted to make a treaty: The New Zealand Company was establishing colonies of settlers who would be expecting land. They were even thinking they would set up their own company government. Humanitarian groups in England, and the missionaries in NZ believed their would be fights between Maori and British settlers over the land.

Another idea for a focus question could be around the missionaries continued complaints to the British government and the Crown that the Europeans living in NZ already were not controlled by any laws.

STATEMENT 1:The English version states that the British would protect Maori interests and establish a government to maintain peace and order. The Queen (Victoria) had "all the rights and sovereignty over" the land.

STATEMENT 2: The Maori version suggests the Queen's main promises to Maori were to provide government while securing tribal rangatiratanga (chiefly autonomy or authority over their own area/s) and Maori land ownership for as long as they wished to retain their land.

 * HER MAJESTY VICTORIA, Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, regarding with Her Royal Favour the Native Chiefs and Tribes of New Zealand, and anxious to protect their just Rights and Property, and to secure to secure to them the enjoyment of Peace and Good Order, has deemed it necessary, in consequence of the great number of Her Majesty's Subjects who have already settled in New Zealand, and the rapid extension of Emigration both from Europe and Australia which is still in progress, to constitute and appoint a functionary properly authorised to treat with the Aborigines of New Zealand for the recognition of Her Majesty's Sovereign authority over the whole or any part of those islands. Her Majesty, therefore, being desirous to establish a settled form of Civil Government with a view to avert the evil consequences which must result from the absence of the necessary Laws and Institutions alike to the Native population and to Her subjects, has been graciously pleased to empower and to authorise me, WILLIAM HOBSON, a Captain in Her Majesty's Royal Navy, Consul and Lieutenant-Governor of such parts of New Zealand as may be, or hereafter shall be, ceded to Her Majesty, to invite the confederated and independent Chiefs of New Zealand to concur in the following Articles and Conditions......**

 * Translation of preamble from the original Maori by Mr. T.E Young, Native Department, AJLC, 1869, PP.69-70. **

VICTORIA, Queen of England, in her kind thoughtfulness to the chiefs and hapus of New Zealand, and her desire to preserve to them their chieftainship and their right to land, and that peace may always be kept with them and quietness, she has thought it a right thing that a chief should be sent here as a negotiator with the Maoris of New Zealand - that the Maoris of New Zealand may consent to the government of the Queen over all parts of this land and the Islands, because there are many people of her tribe who have settled on this land and are coming hither. Now the Queen is desirous to establish the Government, that evil may not come to the Maoris and the Europeans who are living without law. Now the Queen has been pleased to send me William Hobson, a Captain in the Royal Navy, to be Governor for all the places of New Zealand which may be given up now or hereafter to the Queen; and he gives forth to the Chiefs of the Assembly of the hapus of New Zealand, and other Chiefs, the laws spoken here.
