Writing Diary Entries - Signing the Treaty of Waitangi

When I first walked onto the Waitangi grounds to sign the Treaty of Waitangi, I saw many strange British people staring at me. I displayed my mana by walking with my head held high so the pakeha could see my moko edged deep into my face but felt scared inside because the British soldiers and their weapons frightened me.
I reluctantly signed the Treaty and was surprised I did because I was a fierce warrior in my own right.
