{woot} Happy Waitangi Day to Robert! lol (and other possible Kiwis here) {woot}

Waitangi Day commemorates a significant day in the history of New Zealand.
I am completely ( almost {rolleyes}) ignorant about this unlike Australia day. What I do know is that this day is when British and Maori generals or powers signed a treaty and this treaty meant the British rule over New Zealand. This treaty was called the Treaty of Waitangi and what signed in 6 February 1840.
