I haina te tokomaha o ngā rangatira Māori te wāhanga Māori o te tiriti ki Waitangi i te 6 o ngā rā o Pepuere 1840. Arā anō ngā rangatira i haina i te tiriti ki ngā takiwā o te raki, ki Tāmaki-makaurau hoki. E whai ake nei ko tētahi whakapākehātanga tōmuri o ngā wāhanga Māori:

The First
The chiefs of the Confederation and all the chiefs who have not joined that Confederation give absolutely to the Queen of England for ever the complete government over their land.

The Second The Queen of England agrees to protect the chiefs, the subtribes and all the people of New Zealand in the unqualified exercise of their chieftainship over their lands, villages and all their treasures. But on the other hand the chiefs of the Confederation and all the chiefs will sell land to the Queen at a price agreed to by the person owning it and by the person buying it (the latter being) appointed by the Queen as her purchase agent.

The Third For this agreed arrangement therefore concerning the government of the Queen, the Queen of England will protect all the ordinary people of New Zealand and will give them the same rights and duties of citizenship as the people of England.

E whai ake nei ko te wāhanga Pākehā o te tiriti. He maha ngā taupatunga i waenganui i te wāhanga Pākehā me te wāhanga Māori, tae rawa ake ki te whakamāramatanga o te tuatahi me te tuarua.
