Abel Tasman was the first European explorer to discover New Zealand 13th December 1642 although he never set foot on land. In 1769 Captain James Cook arrived in New Zealand. From the late 1790’s whalers, traders and missionaries arrived and established settlements. Captain James Cook Abel Tasman

The Treaty of Waitangi – 6th February 1840

The Treaty of Waitangi The Treaty of Waitangi is New Zealand's founding document. It takes its name from the place in the Bay of Islands where it was first signed, on 6 February 1840. The Treaty is an agreement, in Maori and English, that was made between the British Crown and about 540 Maori chiefs. Growing numbers of British migrants began arriving in New Zealand in the late 1830’s and they planned for extensive settlement. The French were interested in annexing the country but instead the British government moved first. The Treaty was then created and signed by chiefs. As the Maori people agreed to let Britain take sovereignty over New Zealand they were guaranteed full rights of ownership of their lands, forests, fisheries and other possessions; and that Maori would have the rights and privileges of British people.

New Zealand Land Wars 1845-1870

The New Zealand Land Wars The New Zealand Land Wars were a series of armed conflicts fought between 1845 and 1872. The wars were fought over a number of reasons but the main one was that Maori land was being sold to the setttler population. Even though the Treaty of Waitangi said that the Maori people had full rights to ownership of their land, the colonial government began to ignore the Treaty and allowed it to happen anyway. The Maori people then began to resist the occupation and this eventually led to war. After the war, large areas of land were taken away from the Maori people by the government as a form of punishment for the rebellion.

The capital city of New Zealand is Wellington, which is located on the North island. However the largest city is in fact Auckland.

There are two types of haka; the haka “taparahi” and the “peruperu”. The “taparahi” is usually performed without weapons to express public or private feelings. The “peruperu” is performed with weapons and was generally used before going into battle. Tattooing is also another tradition and generally starts at puberty. All high ranking Maori are tattooed.

The North and South Islands are separated by Cook Strait. The total land area, 268,021 square kilometres is a little less than that of Italy or Japan, and a little more than the United Kingdom. The South Island is the largest land mass of New Zealand, and is divided along its length by the Southern Alps.
