Every year on 6 February, New Zealand marks the signing of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, The Treaty of Waitangi in 1840. In that year, representatives of the British Crown and over 500 Māori Chiefs throughout the country signed New Zealand’s founding document.

The Waitangi Day Campaign has been created for New Zealand Government agencies to download, share and use the creative content at events with an overseas audience or on social media.

Social Story
