History: The history of New Zealand holds a lot of impact that can be spread around the world like the Treaty of Waitangi. The Treaty of Waitangi was founded in 1840, it was signed because the Māori people did not want the British to take over their land, this incident was caused by none other than Captain James Cook. Another part of New Zealand history is the Māori new year. This is a time to celebrate Matariki. Matariki is all about the nine stars that are up in the sky which all have a meaning in the Māori culture.One of their other main parts of their history is their language (te reo Māori). The Māori culture has a unique sound of language which can be heard during Māori performances. The haka is the Māori dance which is usually performed at sport events, weddings, and many other special occasions.
