However, it also renamed the date as New Zealand Day, with the intention of creating a sense of nationhood. There was criticism that the name change diminished te Tiriti.

It is instead looked at as a set of principles rather than an agreement, despite being the founding agreement of the New Zealand as a nation state. History tells us , however, that there was not a meeting of the minds in forming this agreement. The Office of Treaty Settlements, established at the same time as the Tribunal, negotiates with the claimants on behalf of the Crown.

A public holiday in New Zealand is a day off work or education. Waitangi Day is 6-February every year and that is the day seen as the public holiday unless 6-February falls on a weekend. In that case, weekday workers would get the following Monday off work. For people working on weekends, they would get 6-February off if it fell on a weekend.
Waitangi Day became an official public holiday in , after initially being a holiday just in Auckland and Northland. All-day entertainment creates a fun, festival atmosphere, with performance stages on the Upper Treaty Grounds, at the Waka Shelter and on the sports field opposite the Treaty Grounds. More than market stalls offer an amazing array of art and crafts, clothing and a wide variety of food options.
