Questions
1) What does the graph show us?
The graph shows the population of the Maori decreasing while the number of Europeans increased.
2) Why do you think the number of Maori change?
This can be, because of the Europeans arrival. Since the Europeans were more advanced, they brought weapons such as muskets. These weapons can put the Maori into a disadvantage and made it easier for them to be killed. These weapons also allowed the Maori to kill each other during wars.
3) Why do you think the numbers of Europeans changed?
Europeans had the upper hand when it comes to technology. The technology is used to exchange with the Maori, for materials such as food. This made it easier to live and create bigger families. This can also be the missionaries who migrated to New Zeland to turn it into a Christian country.
