- The Treaty Of Waitangi must be the most sacred, revered and talked about document in New Zealand history.
The drama begins on 3rd of February, 1840 as Busby and Colenso have asked a number of significant Nga Puhi chiefs to converge to discuss the Treaty - but as yet, there is no Treaty. It emerges Hobson has not even begun to write it when he arrives by ship. Meanwhile, Maori leaders try to understand what exactly the British hope to achieve and what advantage there might be in making a pact with the English.

Written by Gavin Strawhan ( This Is Not My Life, Go Girls ), with novelist Witi Ihimaera as story consultant, Waitangi: What Really Happened is an entertaining, colourful docu-drama about the days leading up to and including the signing of the treaty, revealing the incredible story and the characters behind the treaty's creation. The premise of the show involves time travelling a reporter to 1840, where he finds a host of colourful characters all playing a vital role in what later became Kiwi history.

WHY ISN'T THIS PLAYED ON NEW ZEALAND TV ON THE 6TH FEB ANNUALLY?
man this is supposed to be my assignment homework but I am actually quite
My ancestor Wiremu Karaweko of Ngai Tahu signed the treaty of Waitangi, thanks for uploading this. Not enough New Zealanders these days are familiar with the treaty. So I tend to appreciate just about any documentary that addresses the history of the subject.
What Hone Heke said "how kind he invites me to a meeting in my own land" hurt me, knowing that the land that was once Māori is now owned by tauiwi. How sad. What tauiwi don't understand about Māori is that we Māori don't own land we belong to it, yet you act as if land is a piece of paper and scribble all over it.
This is very helpful for my social studies homework, thanks bro!
I read Kelvin Davis's opinion piece today on Stuff on Waitangi, it was a great article I thought, it made me feel valued as white/european and it made me want to learn Te Reo. I have alot more to learn 😊✌️ awesome article Kelvin, the bridge analogy was/is poignant. 👍✌️
totalJK thank you for my social studies
Really sick documentary. Congratulations!!
This is great! :)
Why start at 1839? Hobson was a veteran of the Napoleon wars, settled in Port Phillip (later Melbourne), his friend Busby asks for help and to send a report on NZ to England. Australia's role in the European founding of NZ should not be ignored.
I have just visited Waitangi. Go there, fantastic.
Just in case people are wondering why there's an American flag on Heke's boat? Heke had connections with the American consul who were encouraging Maori to rebel against the British by selling them guns, although the U.S were just as bad and would have done a Hawaii on Maori so luckily contracts were signed with the British declaring our independent nation!! Make sure you write this down in your history books because the doco above does not show this part.
thank you really much because this is my homework today thank you so much thanks again
this is so helpful
Helpful documentary
Don't forget France had purchased 40,000 acres in northland and were making plans to claim and colonise NZ in 1835. The Maori were well aware of this ... some see benefits for trade. NSW (ie Australia) was also aware, it's another reason Hobson leaves to make a report on NZ. Another factor was the musket wars and lack of police/military made Europeans feel unsafe. NZ was considered "the lawless" colony ... probably due to it's association with Australia. Everyone in NZ at this time (only about 2000 Europeans) was from Australia... petty crims that had done their time or were on a ticket of leave ... they were the whalers and sealers.
Wow this is very cool.
im just 8 years old and i love this
