🌊 Learning About Waitangi Day
What is Waitangi Day?
Waitangi Day is celebrated on 6th February every year. It is New Zealand's national day when we remember the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840. The waka (canoe) is very important to Māori culture. Waka brought people together and helped them travel across the water. Today, we use waka paddles to show where we come from and celebrate our families and cultures living together in New Zealand.
