Why the treaty of Waitangi is Important?

Why the treaty of Waitangi is Important?

One reason that a treaty was needed was the lawless behavior of some of the British Settlers like whalers. This is important as the poor behavior upset the local people and Maori and led to the Treaty of Waitangi.  The Wailers, crew-members, and passengers who boarded these ships spent months at sea travelling to and from their destinations. While on land they often exhibited

examples of total disrespect to the Maori and the land. By the time they arrived in New Zealand, they often partied in celebration, by going to local pubs or bars. They would get into fights with one another, and the locals and the Maori. Maori and locals were again mad at the Wailers for their part in encouraging prostitution for the Maori women around Aotearoa. Although Maori and locals disapproved of these actions they had no legal right to tell them otherwise since they had no legal laws set in place. This continued until the 6th of February 1840 when the Maori were deeply encouraged to sign the treaty of Waitangi. Which most of them did.

Another reason that a treaty was needed was to protect Māori rights. One group that felt strongly about this was the missionaries. Missionaries arrived in New Zealand in June 1814 they wanted to share their religious beliefs, the relationship between the Missionaries and the Maori was described as good. This became one reason Maori signed the treaty of Waitangi. The Missionaries came to teach the Maori about their religious beliefs. The Missionaries would teach the Maori about farming, technology, Reading, Writing, and their beliefs in God. The Missionaries were rightfully concerned because Maori got the disadvantages from their trades. The Whalers worried about their land and how it was taken. So they brought the land back from the Whalers, for the Maori. They were concerned about the amount of prostitution, drunks, and fights the whalers caused. The last thing they worried about was the Musket Wars
