On 6 February 1840, the Treaty of Waitangi was signed between representatives of the British Crown and Māori chiefs, at a time when the British wanted to establish a colony.
The Treaty of Waitangi is still a celebrated day which is on 6 February every year. Many people travel to Waitangi and surrounding areas during the celebrations. See Google Maps here https://goo.gl/maps/ey8vRJBN2xs and a few of my photos here https://photos.app.goo.gl/2weEvMoQWJN6UdNt9 which include the house of which the Treaty was signed. It is one of the oldest surviving houses in New Zealand.
I can see a mixture of pride, history and pride in this post @TheEagleEye .
I have checked also the pictures from the link and I have a question for you, deriving also from the “Haka” moves. Is showing the tongue for New Zealanders a way to scare their opponents?
Yes @Sorbe New Zealanders can stand proud to have a great relationship with indigenous people and the Treaty is acknowledged. This is very rare around the world.
Yes poking tongue out as part of the haka is a scare tactic along with the other moves of course.
