| The History of New Zealands First National Flag |
|
...and it's Importance for all people of New Zealand! This is the original National Flag of New Zealand. It is a sovereign flag because it was chosen by a group of sovereign people, this group of people were known as the Confederation of the United Tribes of New Zealand. The flag they selected which represents all New Zealanders equally and protects all New Zealanders equally was then accepted by the sovereign King of England who agreed to become New Zealand's protector in order to insure New Zealand's security as an emerging independent infant state in exchange for friendship to British subjects who settled in New Zealand or those British subjects who wished to come to New Zealand for the purposes of trade. This is clearly stated in the 1835 Declaration of Independence of New Zealand which is the founding constitutional document that gave rise to New Zealand as a nation which this flag represents. Â
