Yesterday we did a sheet about the Tiriti O Waitangi, we watched a video from the Aotearoa History Show, we watched videos from Aotearoa History Show many many different times, but this one is about the Maori treaty, and how they defended themselves from the war when they started the war, they builded flax walls to slow down the attackers, a bunker under the ground to come and attack them if the leader dies, log walls and the person who was shooting the attackers so they don't come close to them. In the bunker they had two family's to come and help attack. We had to do a sheet with questions on it and when we were watching the video, now today we have to write a summery about basically what we did, we also have to put in 10 questions and add some pictures to our summery/blog post.
Here Are My 10 questions:
1. The Maori population rised to 700,000 before it was 100,000,
2. The main two reasons the population dropped is because of war and disease,
3. Edward Wake Feild was the person to set up the New Zealand Company,
4. The main settement in Aotearoa New Zealand at this time is Russel-Kororareka,
5. The set up to help resolve the situation was the united tribe, issues,
6. Sovereignty means crown control,
7. Tino Rangatiratanga means having your own authority,
8. Kawanatanga means government
9. The British sent over Hobson to New Zealand so he can rule New Zealand,
10. The methods used by the Maori in the Northern war was cannon, fire, riffle, bunkers, flax walls, trenches.
Kia Ora Riansha
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your introduction to this blog post explaining what we have been doing in our hurumanu.
Some of your facts are great and some are incorrect so well done on the facts that you got right like the word definitions. Maori population actually dropped from 100,000 to 70,000-80,000.
The British sent Hobson to NZ to ensure that the Maori weren't forced into signing the treaty.
Maori used everything you listed except cannons, that technology came later.
Keep up the great work.
