Treaty signatories and signing locations

Page 3 – Ngā Wāhi – Treaty Signing Occasions

The Treaty of Waitangi was first signed on 6 February 1840. Over the next seven months, nine copies of the treaty (including the Waitangi sheet) were signed at many different locations. In some cases we know the date and place of the signing, while information about others is less definite.

When complete, Ngā Wāhi – Treaty Signing Locations will contain information about each signing occasion, and the chiefs who signed at them.
