1810 whalers came to
New Zealand to kill
whales and seals
because they were
a delicacy at the
time and they also
introduced cotton
clothes, stone tools,
potatoes, stone tools,
tobacco, alcohol,
muskets and diseases.The musket wars
began in 1818
and this was a
really cruel and
gory time people
would be killed
in the masses and
musket would be
bought for
hundreds upon
hundreds of potatoes.
Potatoes were so
sought after because
they were classifiyed
as a super food
becuase they were
easier to grow and
transport thatn kumara.Musket wars ended
after a grueling 12
years of fight death
and land being lost.
This greusome war
ended becuase the
potatoes and
muskets which were
so sought after had
been distrubated
every where and
everyone had one.
So the war ended
and the treaty of
waitangi was signed.The treaty of waitangi
was signed on the 6th
of February 1840 to
declare peace between
maori and pakeha.
But that was not what
happened the treaty
was unfair because
the pakeha wrote the
treaty but didn't know
maori very well so it
got all mixed up and
unfair.Hongi Hika went to
England in 1820 to
make the very first
maori dictionary. He
also while he was
there he got lots of
muskets and was
very good strategist
with them and
became the very
first maori king.The New Zealand wars
started between the
pakeha and moari
because the moari
found the treaty
unfair. The treaty
was unfair because
the pakha which
wrote the treaty
didnt know the
moari langue very
well. Some pakeha
even sided with the
moari becuase they
thought it was unfair
aswell and vice versa.The New Zealand
wars ended and
3,000 pakeha and
maori had died.
The war stopped
because everyone
had lost lots ;
special land,
family members,
beloved friends
and lots of mana.The british Government
contaminated 2.5 million
hectares of maori land
from them. This happened
because the british were
saying the acted in open
rebellion against the crown.
The outcome of this was
that the moari became
very poor because the
crown was buying land
for absurd prices.On October the 6th
Captain James Cooks
ship the HMS
endeavour sailed into
a New Zealand bay
and had the first
sighting of maori and
it did not go down well.
They blew their
trumpets and fired their
cannons and the local
maori took that as a
sign of war. Cook later
journeyed to hawaii
where he met his demise.In the 1200 bc the maori
arrived at Aotearoa in
wakas. Historians think
that they came from the
pacific islands because
their beliefs and culture
is very similar to pacific
islanders.In 1642 a dutch explorer
called Abel Tasman was
the first human except
the maori to see New
Zealand. He also was
the person who gave
new zealand its first
english name, Nieuw
Zeeland. Also he is the
person who the
tasman sea is named after.In 1865 the maori
land court was
created. The purpose
was to convert the
maori way of holding
land to british of legal
title. The maori land
court did not work out
though the judges
were pakeha and did
not speak maori very
well and only the front
row could hear.
