Bruce Moon: ABOUT THE REAL TREATY STORY.
Another version in English
Meantime, dismissed by Hobson, Freeman was not idle, composing what he thought the wording in English of an agreement with the chiefs ought to be (not that he had authority to do so). Indeed he managed to get a copy of his own version, countersigned indeed by a somewhat distracted Hobson, dispatched to Governor Gipps by the storeship “Samuel Winter” on 8th February. In all, Freeman produced eight somewhat variant copies of his own version, much wordier that the true final English text of 4th February which is now labelled the “Littlewood treaty”. Freeman fakes differ in significant respects from both the actual treaty and the so-called “Littlewood Treaty”. Thus, in article second, he omits the important provision of reference to “all the people of New Zealand” ‒ “tangata katoa o Nu Tirani” in the treaty itself. Flagrantly but nowhere in the real treaty, he “guarantees to the Chiefs and Tribes of New Zealand and to the respective families and individuals thereof the full exclusive and undisturbed possession of their Lands and Estates, Forests, Fisheries and other properties” – omitting “Forests, Fisheries” in one instance.
This has resulted in very considerable fishing rights being transferred to tribal interests,[vii] as not surprisingly, it was Freeman’s fake version in English, which Gipps had received from Freeman, which Gipps transmitted to the authorities in Britain. Hobson, be it remembered, was fully occupied in his principal task of obtaining further chiefs’ assent to the Treaty until his disastrous stroke in early March in Auckland left him incapacitated for almost all activities.[viii]
That it was the Freeman fake version which strongly influenced subsequent activities in Britain is made very clear by members of a Select Committee of the House of Commons, “a section of the Committee” which “largely reflected the opinions of the Government”[ix] quoting Freeman’s fake version exactly.
AND IN NEW ZEALAND...
The consequences in New Zealand were even worse!....
