Abstract
The King Movement leaders believed that the Treaty's guarantee of Rangatiratanga (Chiefly authority) confirmed that a relationship of equality would continue allowing Maori people a degree of autonomy and independence. One symbol of Maori independence is this bank cheque printed in Maori by the King Movement during the 1860s.
