Yes the treaty grounds are very interesting and give you a great insight to New Zealand.

Knowledge is power and this knowledge is also interesting and will help you understand NZ better as you travel.

Yes, like Canada, Australia is only now trying to correct wrongs against its indigenous peoples. NZ are way more progressive when it comes to this as shown by having a treaty.

Yes, even though we may not agree with it, it is history and it is good to understand the history of where you are visiting.

It would be super interesting to visit the Waitangi Treaty Grounds.

Thanks for this.

We live in Canada (where the government is attempting to make up for past colonial wrongs/horrors…) so I always found it interesting how different indigenous people were treated in NZ. I have a feeling the chiefs were right – it was better to negotiate the terms of government than to have them imposed.

It may not be perfect, but it is a lot better than other places.
