There have been two Waitangi Day acts passed by the New Zealand Parliament: the Waitangi Day Act 1960 and the Waitangi Day Act 1976. Neither made 6 February (Waitangi Day) a public holiday; this was done by the New Zealand Day Act 1973. The first Waitangi Day act acknowledged the Treaty of Waitangi. The second changed the name of the day from New Zealand Day back to Waitangi Day.
