THE TREATY WAS TWO THINGS:
1. A permission slip.
2. A membership form.
Maori gave the British permission to run the country.
The British gave Maori equal membership of the greatest empire on earth.
Simple as that. A win/win deal - as chief after grateful chief made clear at the Kohimarama Conference twenty years later.
