Is William hobson pro maori

William Hobson, as the first Governor of New Zealand and a key figure in the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840, played a significant role in the establishment of British authority in the country. While he did work towards establishing a harmonious relationship with the Maori chiefs through the treaty, his primary allegiance was to the British Crown and furthering British interests in New Zealand. His actions and policies reflected this allegiance.
