6. How many chiefs signed the treaty
About 40 chiefs signed the Treaty of Waitangi on 6 February 1840. By the end of the
year, about 500 other Maori, including 13 women, had put their names or moko to the
document; all but 39 signed the Maori text. While some had clear expectations about
what their agreement would bring, others chose not to sign the Treaty at all.Lieutenant-
Governor William Hobson expected the chiefs to mull over the Maori text of the Treaty
for three days. He was surprised to be called to the meeting on 6 February, so he arrived
at Waitangi alone and in plain clothes except for his plumed hat. Former British Resident
James Busby called up the chiefs, starting with Hone Heke. Each signing was followed by
a handshake and greeting from Hobson: 'He iwi tahi tatou' (We are [now] one people).
About half of the chiefs had also signed the Declaration of Independence.

7. What our country was like in 1840?
Our country was a land of war and land was
being sold in an unorganised way all over New
Zealand. There was no one set of rules to govern
New Zealand and no government.
