Treaty of Waitangi vs. Te Tiriti
Sovereignty vs. Governance:
Eng: Māori cede full sovereignty to the British Crown.
Māori: Māori retain tino rangatiratanga (absolute chieftainship), suggesting shared governance.
Eng: British Crown assumes control over land transactions.
Māori: Māori retain authority over their lands, villages, and treasures.
Terms were translated differently, creating misunderstandings and differing expectations, which eventually led to conflicts and disputes over land and governance.
