hello, today in social sciences we were learning about the New Zealand wars and the treaty of waitangi, but today i am just going to post about the New Zealand wars.
heres my work (:
In 1862 Te Hua became a prophet, and saw a angel saying the Maori shall own the land
British soldiers were sent to guard the land so the Maori cannot get near the land
Some Maori thought that people were spying on them
Someone killed other 7 men
1860 some of the Europeans killed the Maori men
They were doing stuff in peace but they were wrong because someone wants to kill the Maori
The Maori were fighting with other Maori
1865 there was a war, and 3 - 4 hundred Pamarere were sent to the Chatham islands.
When he was in the Chatham islands he got sick
Te Tutu waru made a new religion Ringatu
1868 was a very scary year for the government
He was a military genius
Maori would set up heaps of pas for safety
Te kote was sent to the Chatham islands because they thought he was a spy
Te tutu warere said that he ate human flesh
They launched a midnight raid
Tk wanted revenge so he killed 60 people
Then the British attacked Tk’s pa and killed 120 of Tk's followers, but Tk did not get killed
Tk made apologies to the Maori and the chief
The British compensated the land of the Maori
3,000 people died in the revenge of the British
1872 the wars were finished
The wars broke the Maoris colonisation
In 1863 the land was legally confiscated from the real owner
Today we watched episode 6 part 2 of aotearoa history show about the new zealand wars. What happened was that maori and Europeans had wars. In 1862 Te Hua became a prophet, then he saw an angel saying the Maori shall own the land, then after that Te Hua then started thinking about it and thought that the angel was right.
Then when the queen had gotten a letter from Grey that had said that the maori had tried to take the land. Then the queen had sent british soldiers down to Auckland so they can guard Auckland from maori getting near it.
