Intentions of Te Tiriti

 In social studies we are learning about the treaty of Waitangi. We have been watching videos of what really happened to the treaty of Waitangi. I have to answer a few questions with my own opinion.

What impression do you have about the motives and intentions of the British?                                               The British are mean.
