Treaty of Waitangi group discussion

In our discussion with Mrs Tofa we talked about the Treaty of Waitangi. The things
we talked about was when the Treaty of Waitangi was signed in the 1840’s and
the marriage they talked about was now a divorce. And about the freedom that
the Maoris wanted. We also talked about genocide. We also learned that
genocide means when someone takes the lifes of a large amount of people
from a certain nation or ethnic group. Another thing we also found out
was that they couldn’t speak Te Reo in schools because it was against the
rules. We also talked about how their language was suppressed by force
and how they were finally recognized in 1980 as a culture and how they
finally had a voice. Another thing we also found out is that it took them
140 years to be recognized as a culture and 32 years later they're still
fighting the system for retribution.
