Te Tiriti ki te Manuao Herara/ The Herald-Bunbury sheet
After the initial signing on February 6, 1840, copies of Te Tiriti o Waitangi were sent around the country for rangatira to sign. Major Bunbury, in the H.M.S Herald, took a copy of te Tiriti o Waitangi (reo Māori text) to several locations in Te Waipounamu. This copy is known as Te Tiriti ki te Manuao Herara/ the Herald-Bunbury sheet. It was signed by Karetai and Korako at Ōtākou on the 13th of June 1840.
