WHAT DOES WAITANGI DAY MEAN TO OUR FAMILY?
1. The day celebrates 178 years of peace in our country... a. An end to genocidal NZ tribal wars that cost up to 60,000 lives between 1830 and 1840... b. The freedom for at least 20,000 inter-tribal slaves on the Treaty signing in 1840...
2. The day celebrates the birth of our nation under the Treaty which guaranteed; One Law, One Nation and Equality for all citizens under the Crown...
3. The celebration of the growth and development of our nation from a stone-age backwater to a 1st world contributing Nation in 2018...
Not a bad effort for 178 years...
Lets really make a difference in the next 178 years to make our nation proud...
