My Treaty of Waitangi writing 1

 

The audience watched the signing of this Treaty. They are dressed nicely because this is a special moment for the Maori and the British. I notice a British flag on the table where the man is signing the Treaty. I wonder why there are guards next to the  British side.

I notice that the crowd  is staring at the person who’s  signing the treaty. I wonder why the British  get to sit on the chairs and the Maoris are sitting on the ground/grass. Wow! I can see  that there is a lot of important people watching the Treaty being signed.

There is a man next to the Maori person signing the Treaty looking close at the paper and him writing and I wonder why there is a small crowd watching the  treaty signed. 

I wonder why they would sign the treaty inside of a big  tent instead of  the outside.

 I notice that the British  have 2 servants standing next to the police officer and the man on the left. I wonder why they chose Hone Heke to sign the treaty. I wonder if other countries like Australia were at the treaty to support and watch the Treaty as well. I noticed the British were sitting there. There's only about two important people that include Lieutenant governor William Hobson, James Busby. I wonder what it's like to sign an important document. I wonder if you get nervous but happy to do it.
