My people aren't happy with how they are being treated, and why are you taking our land and homes
Well i can't make my people like you, and we are taking your land because thats what you agreed too in the treaty
Wait i didn't agree to tha- No, no, no the translation!
The chief realised what had happened but the treaty being a signed official document meant he couldn't take it back. The poor chief had been devastatingly ripped off.
We were all told the same story for years and years about what really happened with the treaty of Waitangi and the Maori had to live listening to it knowing that they had been ripped off not that they agreed to it, that is why the treaty of Waitangi is retold to every child every year in schools so that we understand the truth not the single story that was told for years before we decided to believe the Maori
The chief was remembered forever but not for a good reason, him and his tribe watched the english take over everything they owned and twisted the country into their perfect vision, they felt ripped off for the rest of their lives.
