Summary

[edit]
Description

This Waikato copy is the only surviving printed copy of te Tiriti o Waitangi with signatures (the other sheets are written in longhand). It was one of 200 copies of the Māori text printed in Paihia on 17 February 1840 by CMS printer, William Colenso. The dates of when this was signed are unknown, but it is most likely an adjunct to the Waikato-Manukau sheet (which is in English) that missionary Robert Maunsell received and was signed in late March or early April 1840.

Maunsell witnessed all five names on the sheet. The chiefs, from Ngāti Pou on the Waikato River and Ngāti Te Wehi at Raglan, may have been visiting Maunsell's station at the mouth of the Waikato River.
