Dorrie: I learnt that the last signature was put on the treaty was on the 3 rd of september.
Molly: I learnt that over 500 Maori signed the treaty and around 38 ritosh signed it.
Sally: it took Henry Williams just overnight to translate the treaty.
Lily: the treaty was last signed on the 3 of September 1840

Hailey : Today at Te papa I learned the treaty was signed between the Maori and the
Soren : there is two versions of the treaty the English and the Maori but they do not have the same words.
