The Six Documents Agreed to by Both Parties that made New Zealand a British Colony.
There were Six Documents, agreed to by both parties, that made New Zealand into a British Colony under one flag and one law, irrespective of race, colour or creed.
The main one being Queen Victoria’s Royal Charter/Letters Patent dated 16 November 1840 issued under, “The Great Seal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland”. This document separated New Zealand from New South Wales and made New Zealand into a British Colony under one flag and one law, irrespective of race, colour or creed, but many historians, authors, activists and governments have done everything in their power to ignore these Six Vital Historical Documents held in the New Zealand, Australian and American Archives, plus the British Parliamentary Papers.
What right have these authors, historians, activists and governments to question these Six Documents that were agreed to by both parties at the time. They made New Zealand into a British Colony. See: The Six Documents that made New Zealand into a British Colony. | One New Zealand Foundation Inc.
While the first 4 documents are important historical documents as they helped set up New Zealand becoming a British Colony, there is no denying, Queen Victoria’s 1840 Royal Charter/Letters Patent made New Zealand a British Colony recognised and never disputed by Nations around the world.
There is no other document in New Zealand’s history that comes anywhere near to a true Founding Document and first Constitution than Queen Victoria’s Royal Charter/Letters Patent dated 16 November 1840. It’s an indisputable fact, it set up our political, legal and justice systems under one flag and one law, irrespective of race, colour or creed. But in 2017 the corrupt National Government hid our true Founding Document and first Constitution from the public’s view when the One New Zealand Foundation Inc brought it to their attention
All the above was agreed to unanimously by over 200 chiefs at the 1860 Kohimarama Conference “That this conference takes cognisance of the fact that several chiefs, members thereof, are pledged to each other to do nothing inconsistent with their declared cognition of
the Queen’s sovereignty, and of the unions of the two races”. See: Chief’s Swear Alliance to the Queen at Kohimarama Conference. | One New Zealand Foundation Inc.
Finally, it’s time we put all the myths to bed, once and for all.
- Maori were not indigenous to New Zealand; they arrived in New Zealand by canoe in the 14th century to find New Zealand already inhabited by the tangata whenua. FACT.
- Over 500 chiefs agreed to the name of the country as New Zealand/Nu Tirani when over 500 chiefs signed the Tiriti o Waitangi in1840. FACT
- Through intermarriage of their ancestors’ own free will, Maori today are no longer the distinct race of people who signed the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840. Today, they are New Zealand Citizens living under one flag and one law with all the other New Zealand Citizens. “He iwi tahi tatou – We are now one people”. FACT.
- Maori could not cede sovereignty in 1840, “As no political body existed capable of making cession of sovereignty” or even to deliberate in concert, therefore, “kawanatanga/government” was used in the Declaration of Independence and the Tiriti o Waitangi. “Kawanatanga” is also translated to “government” in all Maori to English dictionaries. FACT.
We ask all New Zealanders to read these Six Documents agreed to by both Parties that made New Zealand into a Democratic British Colony under one flag and one law, irrespective if race, colour or creed.
