The story behind Waitangi Day
Waitangi Day, on February 6, is New Zealand's national day. It marks the signing in 1840 of the Treaty of Waitangi, Te Tiriti o Waitangi, between the British Crown and more than 500 Māori chiefs, the founding document of the nation.
The heart of the day is at the Waitangi Treaty Grounds in Northland, with a dawn ceremony, waka (canoe) displays and debate about how the treaty's promises are being kept. Since 2014, when February 6 falls on a weekend, the holiday moves to the Monday.
