188 | Sheet 1 — The Waitangi Sheet | Marama? / Maiapia? | Mārama | Te Rarawa? | Ngāi Takoto? | Kaitāia 28 April 1840 |
Mārama signed the Treaty of Waitangi on 28 April 1840 at Kaitāia.
As Miria Simpson noted, Mārama is usually a woman's name. This would make her one of an important group of Māori women who signed the Treaty of Waitangi.
