   The first New Zealand flag was adopted on 9 March 1834 after a vote made by the United Tribes of New Zealand. One of three flags that were initially proposed, this flag became known as the Flag of the United Tribes of New Zealand.
   To Maori, the United Tribes flag signified that Britain had recognized New Zealand as an independent nation with its own flag, and had acknowledged the mana of the Maori chief. The flag is still flown at Waitangi, site of the signing of New Zealand's founding document, The Treaty of Waitangi.
