I introduce about 'Waitangi Day' or 'New Zealand Day'. The day is a significant event at the beginning of the year and as known by the Maori people. This is celebrated on February 6 every year. Because the traty was signed in Waitangi mainly be the North Island chiefs, it is primarily a North Island celebration. The day is celebrated by the launching of traditional Maori canoes. And the day is national holiday, so many shop are closed.
