Waitangi Day

Waitangi Day is a national holiday to celebrate when the Treaty of Waitangi was signed and and NZ became a nation.
The Treaty of Waitangi was signed on February 6 1840. It was signed in the Bay of Islands.It was signed by 500 Maori chiefs and representatives of the Queen. The agreements were that Maori agreed that British would make the laws and the government, and the Queen agreed the Maori would own land, forests and rivers. The British bought land off Maori. 
On Waitangi Day, we went to my dad's friend's farm and did target shooting. The target was a rubbish bin lid. My dad got a bulls-eye.
