The Invitation of 1831

• Who sent the invitation? It was sent from the Maori chiefs to Britain.
• Why? 1. The chiefs have special Trade and missionary contacts with Britain 2. They want to be friends with Britain. 3. They want to be saved from threats. 4. The want to be safe from other tribes. 5. They want British people to stop being horrible people
• Who is James Busby?  He is a British Resident they sent to NZ
• Where was Busby's house? Where the treaty was signed
• What was his job? 
• Who was William Williams and what did his translations mean?William Williams is the translator between Maori and British and the translation tells the Maori that they hope to be undisturbed.

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.

Ideas

1. Immigration must be carefully planned
2. The immigrants must sit up small farms like those in England. This will make it easy to provide each farming village with things like schools and churches.
3. Land must be bought from the Maoris and then sold at a higher price to wealthy English people.
4.  The profits from the sale of loud will pay for the fares of carefully chosen labourers.
5. The price of land must be high enough so that the labourers will not be able to afford to buy it for some years. They will have to work to save money. This will mean plenty of labour for the farmers.

What are the pull factors of New Zealand?

A pull factor is something that draws you to a place or a country. New Zealand is a place many people want to go to, and for good reasons. There's beautiful landscapes, decent jobs, good education and it's a safe place. New Zealand is a beautiful place where people like to go to due to it's positive reputation. 

Why do the British want to leave England?

A push factor is what makes you want to leave the place or the country. British didn't really like what England has became due to the Industrial Revolution and wanted to leave immediately. They lived in cheaply made house, children were working, diseases spread pretty quickly, worked long hours and dangerous jobs. England felt like torture for those workers which made them want to leave.
