What did the Treaty of Waitangi say?

The different of the English and Maori Treaty?

Article 1. English version main point is Maori to give up complete sovereignty to the British. This meant Maori came under complete control of the British government and laws. Maori version main point is that Maori to give up the governorship. For Maori, this meant Queen Victoria became the sovereign of New Zealand. However, Maori chiefs still had control of their tribes.

Article 2. English version main point is Maori are guaranteed their 'possession of their lands, estates, forests, fisheries and other properties'. British Crown has the pre-emptive right to buy Maori land that is offered for sale. That meant Maori could only sell land to the British government. Maori version main point is Maori have full chieftainship of their lands, villages and possession and everything they treasure. If Maori wanted to sell their land, they had to first offer it to the British Crown at an agreed price. If the British Crown did not agree, land could then be sold to someone else.

Article 3. English version main point is Maori have the same rights as British subjects. Maori version main point is that the British will protect Maori. Maori have the same rights as British subjects.

My understanding of this article is that Maori they don't really need to sign a treaty. The Treaty of Waitangi was more about giving the British people power which the Maori regret signing it because the English version is different from the Maori version this is what causes conflict.
