PETITION - RESTORE THE ORIGINAL TREATY OF WAITAINGI
We the undersigned call upon the Government of New Zealand to conduct a full, unbiased, publicly transparent forensic analysis of the two treaty-related sheets listed as numbers 3 & 4 and titled, The Waikato-Manukau sheet and The Printed Maori sheet, respectively.
We wish full disclosure on how these two sheets were adjoined by various means in specific eras since the 19th century, whether folded together, wax-glued together, paste-glued together, as well as the multiple ways they were stick-pinned together.
We wish to have a comprehensive search done of historical records and memoirs that would indicate when the documents were seen to be adjoined, as well as any reference to them being separated for a prescribed purpose (photography?) and reattached.
We wish to know definitively the last time they were observed to be joined-together, as well as both the circumstances and purpose for which they were last separated.
We wish to know to what degree Matiu Rata and his colleagues or confederates were involved in the handling of these documents prior to and after 1975.
