Where fiords meet forests. Fiordland National Park, New Zealand
For Waitangi Day, we're visiting the spectacular landscape of Fiordland National Park on New Zealand's South Island. Waitangi Day is New Zealand's national day, established to commemorate the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi on February 6, 1840. The document was signed by representatives of the British Crown and some 500 Māori chiefs to establish British law on the islands. The treaty also created the framework for political relations between New Zealand's government and the Indigenous Māori people. It's considered New Zealand's founding document and a cornerstone in the country's history.
