TREATY OF WAITANGI ARTICLES CLEAR Before t he recent reinterpretation and officially legislated acceptance of J. S. Freeman’s version, the Treaty of Waitangi, signed and accepted by the Chiefs, had three articles:
FIRST: That the Chiefs accepted entire sovereignty of the Queen of England forever.
SECOND: The tribes, chiefs and all men in New Zealand (this included non-Maori) were guaranteed all their rights in their land, villages and other property with the Queen retaining the right to purchase any land they wished to sell, at their price.
THIRD: The Crown will protect them and secure to them all the rights and privileges of the people of England.
Where, Willy Jackson, as you stated on radio, are the guaranteed subsequent consultations with the Crown and any mention of Treaty principles? (Abridged) B J Omokoroa
