  1. Hi James
    Well done on answering all these questions about Tangata Whenua. You must be great at note-taking! For most of the questions, you ave given lots of valid reasons and explained why this history occurred.
    I'm guessing that you ran out of time to complete questions 9 and 10, so it would be good for you to go back and finish these. Also, Rangatira were not slaves.
    Keep working hard.
