Explanatory notes
1
While there is no article 4 in the Treaty of Waitangi its inclusion in evidence
requirement 2.1 refers to the verbal promise that was made to respect freedom of
religion (sometimes called the fourth article of the Treaty). On the day of the signing
of the Treaty of Waitangi, specific enquiry was made as to the free tolerance of
religious matters including Māori custom. In a statement read just prior to the signing
of the Treaty, Governor Hobson declared that: the several faiths of England, of the
Wesleyans, of Rome and also the Māori custom, shall alike be protected.
2
It is envisaged that students will be given the opportunity to develop ideas as to what
a treaty is and what its purpose is. It may be of use to study treaties used for other
indigenous, first nation or minority groups.
3
There are significant differences between iwi and rohe understandings and the
significance given to the Treaty. Many iwi did not sign the Treaty; however, they
recognise its significance and impact.
