David Round, a law lecturer at the University of Canterbury and author of Truth or Treaty? Commonsense Questions about the Treaty of Waitangi, notes that “all the treaty actually says is that the Queen is sovereign and Maori are her subjects, with the rights of subjects, including possession of property. - That is all, in both English and Maori versions.
