Waitangi Day


Why are these people carrying this banner?

I think that the people are carrying the banner to honour the treaty of waitangi. The treaty of waitangi was signed in The bay of islands on the 6th of february 1840. Since 1974 it has been made a public holiday. The first person to sign the treaty was Hona Heke. They say that about 40 other chiefs signed the treaty.
