Catching up with another week of local news and events, but probably nothing of significance this week. Today is the 190th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, on 28 October 1835. James Busby got it signed by 34 northern chiefs and by 1839 it had 52 signatures. It allowed ships trading from here to Australia to fly a flag and be accepted like ships flying the flags of other countries. More info at https://teara.govt.nz/en/artwork/35115/united-tribes-flag.
