Last week we were learning about the Treaty of waitangi. The Treat of Waitangi is a sign by the cheif to declare peace and no war against the British and Polynesians. That sign(treaty) stopped the fighting and arguing against the two. Her e are the questions..
1.What was the Maori population in the late 1830's? Answer 70 80,00
2.What were the two main reasons for the drop in population? Answer They got killed by fire, and the British when they had there wars such as the potato wars (musket wars)
3.What was the name of the main settlement in Aotearoa New Zealand at this time? Answer Koroareka and the english word is Russell
4. Why were the rangatira and missionaries unhappy with what was happening in the town? Anwser Bad behaviour such as prostution, being drunk on the street and stealing
5. How was Te Triti o Waitangi neglected? Name as many reasons as you can. Not going by the rules of the Treaty and disobeying what they said at the treaty.
Kia Ora James. It's awesome to see your blogs about the history of Aotearoa.
ReplyDeleteThis blog seems a bit rushed. For question 1, the answer should be 70,000-80,000 Maori.
For question 2, the Maori didn't die in a fire, they died from diseases introduced by pakeha, and from war like you said.
Questions 3 and 4 have been well answered.
You have interpreted question 5 incorrectly. It is referring to the treaty document which was stored under a building for many years and suffered water damage and also was partly eaten by rats!
I look forward to seeing your best work next term James.
