today. National holiday of New Zealand.
we celebrate the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi (partnership between Maori and Europeans)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waitangi_day
though in practice... there will be maori activist activities and i wonder what will be on the news tonight...
(there is a lot of debate as to the precise meaning of the different versions of the treaty etc etc)
