Today's commemorations mark the initial signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, which eventually involved 540 rangatira around Aotearoa, and representatives of the British Crown. Dame Claudia Orange's writing on the Treaty has contributed to New Zealanders' understanding of this history for over thirty years.
