The Treaty is very important because it represents the past, for over five hundred years Maori had Aotearoa to themselves, until one day in 1769 captain cook arrived in Aotearoa.
In the 1790´s pakeha has arrived to hunt down seals and whales then later Missionaries from England then later France followed also traders arrived to load all their ships with timber and flax to sell overseas, by the 1830´s seven hundred pakeha most of them British were living in Aotearoa what they called New Zealand.
At the time Britain owned a large amount and was a power empire. They decided that New Zealand should become a part of that empire.
