Waitangi Day

As you already know we have just had a public holiday for Waitangi Day.

In this blog post I will be telling you some facts about it.

Hope you enjoy.😁

Every year on the 6th of February New Zealand celebrates the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi which was first celebrated in 1840. New Zealanders celebrate this day in many different ways. 

With some people it is just a day off work and a chance to enjoy the warm summer weather. However for others it is a chance to reflect on a significant day in New Zealand's history.

At times Waitangi Day has included Protests and Conflict.

The treaty house grounds were made a public reserve which was dedicated on 6th of February 1934.

This event is considered to be the first Waitangi Day. Up to 10,000 Maori attended the 1934 celebrations.

Here are some photos of people celebrating Waitangi Day.

Again hope you enjoy😁
