many māori were still worried that a european power might invade and dispossess them, and some iwi were having difficulties controlling the large numbers of europeans who visited and settled in their areas. english missionaries were also concerned about the levels of lawlessness, which were undermining their efforts to convert māori to christianity. the british colonial office, influenced by the missionaries and by reports that the independent new zealand company was planning to privately colonise the islands, sent naval captain william hobson to negotiate a treaty. the subsequent treaty of waitangi, signed in 1840, made new zealand part of the british empire, established a governor of new zealand, and gave māori the rights of british subjects.
