First signed in 1840 between the British Crown and more than 500 Maori chiefs, the Treaty of Waitangi lays down how the two parties agreed to govern. As a result of wars and the destruction of communal land ownership, the M. lost most of their lands. The number of M. fell to 42.1 thousand people (1896, census). But the M. received seats in parliament, and the sovereignty of the M. "king" over the territory under his control was recognized. In the 20th century, the M. began to actively participate in the New Zealand policy.The interpretation of clauses in the document still guides legislation and policy today. Rulings by the courts and a separate Maori tribunal have progressively expanded Maori rights and privileges over the decades. However, some argue this has discriminated against non-Indigenous citizens. The ACT New Zealand party, a junior partner in the ruling center-right coalition government, proposed a bill to enshrine a narrower interpretation of the Waitangi treaty in law.
