Since then many protests have taken place. It's believed the British lied to the Māori people about what the treaty actually said, many things were lost in translation between the English & Māori versions of the treaty. Māori people were conned out of a lot of land, some is still being fought for today. And we still allow disrespectful douchebag New's Presenters, like Mike Hosking to mock the Māori language on air, and say it's a waste of time in front of the whole country. I guess some things never change. He has no idea! The Māori language (Te Reo) & culture is beautiful, and it is the OG New Zealand culture!
Nothing can take away from the culture, the celebrations, and the energy at Waitangi on Waitangi day. The best memories were spent sleeping on the Marae, jumping off the bridge (more like being pushed off) doing bombs in to the water, eating the beautiful Kai (food) and being surrounded by magic.

Happy Waitangi
Happy Waitangi Day to you too! :)
You know it is a holiday day when it rains, lol. At least down here (Southland).
A few of us kiwis and aussies got together and created a space on Discord for us all to hang out together, if you're interested? We just opened the doors last night, and while the aussies are flooding in we need kiwis too. Here's a link to our invitation post, we'd love to see you: https://steemit.com/steemit/@cryptonik/grand-announcement-steemit-south-pacific-aus-nz-community-launch-now-on-discord
