In the 1840's the treaty of Waitangi was signed on the 6th of February by 40 chiefs and the british crown in Waitangi, Bay of Islands but in a few years over 500 more people signed the treaty.
The banner was getting carried because the people didn't think that the treaty was honoured
Then in 1970 the protest increased because no one honoured the treaty.
Waitangi means Water tears, Wai = Water and Tangi = tears and the treaty has symbols and crosses on it because the 4o chiefs didn't know how to write so they just used symbols.
