  The Treaty of Waitangi is a very important document in New Zealand History was signed in 1840 on 6 February there are multiple copies in English and Maori by the British Crown and the Maori Chiefs.  One of the main principles of the Treaty of Waitangi is the concept of bad and good and fairness and particularly how it impacts the Maori in many ways including rights and interests. However, throughout history, There have been times when people's so-called justice under the Treaty has been proven unfair to the Maori. A few examples are Land confiscation when the British Crown unjustly confiscated Maori Lands. British laws and language have a massive impact on the Maori in multiple areas. Maori historically faced systemic discrimination such as education, healthcare, and many other opportunities.

 We finally finished our work, We put our work in the hall to finish our final presentation. It took us a lot of effort and time to finish this project, and we were all very happy about our project. It is very easy to understand and has a lot of detail.  Final Learning Reflection 1. Planning Our Project Planner (Milestone 1) - link or embed the doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Xvd4wksp7qeBwEgw3GhSwlNpswY8lp-Og0OkAew1Cqw/edit Looking back at the planning we did at the start, I think… We should've focused more on a different topic instead of the one we have right now because theirs only one kind of energy that can power Otaki and that's solar. Having had the experience of this project, if I was planning another project I would… Start thinking what the most beneficial idea for Otaki. 2.

Today, we finally finished our project we printed our work out and stuck it onto a cardboard to display our past 3 weeks of hard work. We need to make a solar panel from scratch using aluminum and other kinds of material.  Other questions that help find the answer What is the most sustainable source of power/energy?  What is the cheapest/most expensive?

  Today in NPDL, we are currently finishing our project we are finding the best source of energy for  Otaki. Currently solar is the energy source, because there's no wind in Otaki and we can't build a hydropower source because the river is too small and it will be very expensive. The currently best source of energy is solar because solar is the only power that Otaki can produce.

 Today in NPDL, we finished the Research Proposal. This thing we are currently doing is the first thing we have to do before we do anything in the project.  Our project is about power to the people and what kind of energy/power is best for Otaki. These are the questions we will be answering in the project we are currently doing.  Other questions that help find the answer What is the most sustainable source of power/energy?  What is the cheapest/most expensive?
