Caused Conflicts

In the first article of the treaty, Maori were told that they'd only have to give up governorship and continue to have control over their tribes. However, the British were told that they'd (they being Maori) have complete control over New Zealand. Government issues ensue.

In the second article, in the British version, Maori are guaranteed all of their properties but the British have the established right to buy the land that was for sale, meaning the Maori could only sell to the British government. Maori were aware they had full rangatiratanga over their possessions. Contrary to the British article, Maori were told they could offer their land to the British Crown for an agreed price and if the offer is denied, the land could then be sold to someone else. This would cause some issue when Maori tried to sell land to countries outside of the British Crown.

In the third article, both versions state that Maori had the same rights as British subjects. However, the British "Offical" version, did not state that the British were to protect Maori, unlike the translated Maori version of the article. This would obviously cause some kind of conflict where Maori believe they should be being protected but aren't necessarily.
