1. The flag was called The Flag of the Independent Tribes of New Zealand.                                                                                         
2. It was raised with the British flag and given a 21 gun salute by the Alligator, the man of war in the harbor. This indicated to the chiefs that New Zealand was an independent country with an association or friendship with Britain.                                           
3. The flag was recognized by King William IV of Britain. This indicated to the chiefs that Britain had recognized the tino rangatiratanga of the chiefs.                                                          
4. It gave New Zealand-built ships a flag to fly which let their cargo go duty free into foreign ports. Busby arranged for New Zealand-built ships to be registered in the name of The Independent Tribes of New Zealand.                                            
5. It was also flown on land, especially at the Bay of Islands.          
6. After the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, the Union Jack took its place. But the 1834 flag was still used. In 1840, for example, the European settlers in Wellington from the New Zealand Company refused to recognize authority in Auckland and flew the flag of The Independent Tribes of New Zealand.                    
7. The flag was always important to the Maori. In 1902 there was a petition to Parliament asking that the flag given to the Maori chiefs of New Zealand by King William IV be kept as the standard of New Zealand.                                                             
8. The flag got renewed.
