Name of Person chosen	Story Starter (copy and paste from slides)
Ngapuhi chief	Ngāpuhi chief, Hone Heke, was a strong man. He was a Christian man. Hone Heke believed that by signing the Treaty of Waitangi, Māori people would have control over their own people, land, and would help protect British settlers.

Continue the story here: 

→ When Ngapuhi chief finished signing the Treaty of Waitangi he gave it to the manager and said that Maori people have to control their people, land and the things that they own to help and protect the British settlers that are coming to New Zealand. If they don’t protect the British settlers that are coming to New Zealand then they won’t be protected so that's why Ngapuhi chief signed the Treaty of Waitangi. 

It was time for the British settlers to come to New Zealand so the Maori people decided to be respectful and control their people, land and their other things that they need to protect so when the British settlers arrive they will be protected. Then the British settlers arrived in New Zealand and they got their stuff and hopped out of the boat and the Maori people welcomed them by doing a Haka. 

When the British people were welcomed by the Maori people doing a Haka and singing they were so welcomed and respectful and when the Maori people were done doing their haka they said thank you and clapped.

Once the British people clapped and felt welcoming they got their stuff and each went and went to their new homes with the Maori people to show them around they house and New Zealand.
