It’s Waitangi Day
George Moorhouse in Everett noticed Waitangi Day on his calendar. He wondered what it was.
Waitangi Day is a New Zealand national day celebrated each year on Feb. 6, commemorating the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840.
Under the terms of the treaty, the native Maori people agreed to accept British sovereignty and in turn were given citizenship and land rights.
