释义 | Waitangi DayWaitangi Day(waɪˈtʌŋiː)Waitangi DayWaitangi Daywww.archives.govt.nz/holdings/treaty_frame.html www.waitangi.com Waitangi DayThe town of Waitangi is located on the Bay of Islands at the northern end of the North Island, and the day on which the treaty was signed is observed there by the Royal New Zealand Navy and the Maoris each year. Because of continued discrimination against them, some Maoris protested the occasion during the 1980s. In 1988 the New Zealand government cancelled the national commemoration ceremonies and has attempted to reorganize the observance in later years. But the protests continued through the 1990s and early 2000s. Ministry for Culture and Heritage History and Heritage Units P.O.
