- Waitangi Day marks the significance of the initial signing of Te Tiriti o Waitangi | The Treaty of Waitangi. We recall what happened at Waitangi at the time of the signing and who was there. This helps us understand why we have a holiday.
- Why is 6 February called Waitangi Day? How does the community acknowledge the significance of 6 February 1840? What do we know about the people who were at Waitangi around the time of signing?
