4.  How did the Maori have to adapt to the Europeans?
 They had to cope with the whaling sealing and any other epidemic the Europeans created.
 Adapting to the agreement when the Chiefs had to sign the Treaty of Waitangi
 Adapting to a different area when they were forced to abandon their territory.
 Getting used to Europeans living amongst and beside them
 They had to cope with the Europeans culture and ways of getting things done

5.  I believe that the Treaty was unfair because after it was signed
the Europeans forced the Maori to leave their territory and live
somewhere else.
 Also the British promised to the Maori a government but all
were British not one Maori was part of the government this
gave the Europeans power over NZ.
 The land then practically belonged to the British
 Translation between 2 copies of the treaty were different
 They were pretty much forced to sign the treaty
What's your say in this?

6.  The English version of the treaty provides protection,
government and peace for the land
 While the Maori version only provides a government.
 There were differences some say it is a big difference from the
English treaty and the Maori didn’t have a fair chance.
 The Maori Version was translated quickly but professionally
some of the other Governors suggested changes to the Maori
version LT Governor Williams was against this

7.  Originally Polynesians arriving at the year 1300 AD
 Polynesians had to adapt to the modern temperature in N
 The biggest source of food was the Moa it was so popular amongst the Maori it is
now extinct
 Gradually the Polynesians split the land and created tribes these were the first of
all Tribes
 Hunting took time and patience the only had spears
 From tropical islands they had to switch to agriculture to hunting
 They had no form of writing or official language
