When I went to NZ I was terrified that Maori people would hate me for being British. Every Maori I met, without exception, has been so nice to me and are very happy to teach me Maori or talk about their culture. I was even invited to look at a marae with one of the ladies. I was in Hamilton so I lived amongst the Tainui tribe mainly

You saved my life I had to do some research about the whole history on new Zealand, For my year 12 exam thanks man :D.

Worked in New Zealand from February to June 1993. What a great country and a good working culture.
I worked at BOPE in Whakatane then with Electricorp at Arapuni. I visited lots of rural towns on the way to Auckland and Wellington.
Great Place. Kiaora.

Thanks, I enjoyed the quick history lesson.

Funny thing is Ive heard it a hundred times and it's always interesting to hear other people's translation/take on it.

[Fallencomrade]

As an Irish person, we know all too well about the shady dealings of the British empire. NZ culture is beautiful, people are beautiful and the land is beyond beautiful. Keep thriving. I can't wait to visit you some day!

[terencehikawai]

For a short video and a quick history recap its pretty good. Obviously a lot missed, because its a History Quickly, otherwise its one of the best more accurate and factual History on Aotearoa New Zealand. Nice work!

The English version stated they would confiscate the land and the Māori version stated we would live in peace. The translator told our people we would live peacefully and once it was signed, everything TAKEN from us.

Our people were driven out to the outskirts. Our ancestors were slaughted for speaking our language, our carvings burned (in the north). British dug our ancestors up and displayed their heads in a museum.

Our ancestors and spiritual leaders were imprisoned in the hopes they could destroy our culture!

Our children, elders and men all killed and pushed out when my people stood firm and wouldn’t leave their lands. My people forced to fight the white-man’s war. When they returned as broken men their families suffered and now to this day my people are still suffering from generational trauma.

We lived off the land and only took what we needed. Now they control our water, food and LAND.

One thing they will never succeed is they will never destroy us. We are too strong ✊🏿

5:12 It was Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior, not New Zealand's. The sinking happened in New Zealand, however. (I was commuting across the harbour by ferry through that year, so I saw the sunken ship twice a day for about 3 months until it was raised.) NZ had sent frigates to protest the French nuclear tests.

Dude, this is really good stuff. Keep it up!

[Sigmath_Bits]

Awesome video!
Will love to see some more NZ History Quickly focussing closer on certain events in the future.

4:33 New Zealand punches above its weight at "punching above its weight". The phrase is very often used in connection to New Zealand. Perhaps because as such a light weight, anything we do at or below our weight is beneath notice.

[johnnyjohnny]

New Zealand is beautiful and seems a nice place to live

[KosalKakadaZzzz]

TYSM for the story now I need to get my presentation ready

[flaven]

That's not correct.
The land wars were instigated by landthirsty British landowing elite dissatisfied with the 50 years of peace since the signing of the treaty as well as a handful of politicians with the same motives. And together, they got together settlers that were disatisfied with the size of their land grant plots (which they got for free from the British government for either 1. Getting passage to NZ on a ship (eg. Just getting there) or 2. For reward for British soldiers for participating in British conquest campaigns in India, Malaya, China, Africa, Australia, the Americas etc. Crimea.
Anyway, back to the matter.
The dissatisfied guys got together, formed militia and on many occasions attacked and cleared native settlements in order to dislodge the local tribe from primarily, 1. alluvial floodplains for conversion to lucrative pasture land, 2. Areas rich in immediately harvestable/exploitable resources such as Luxury hardwood forest regions, gold deposit regions, amber and gem regions, etc.

That was the cause of the post treaty land wars.

Not some *other* reason.

Now in 2020 there is tonnes of evidence and literary works and records from both British and Colonial official planning documents and other records such and diaries and commanders logs etc. And Maori records also.
There's tonnes of information available in the public domain nowadays.

What you said in the video, with respect, is not true.
It's like saying the earth is triangle.

The important question I want to know for your decision to broadcast that idea is:

Why would you select that course of action.

Are you after something? Or work for someone or some group that wants something? Or something?

Why?

Rest of video is cool tho

Came here after seeing Mrs Ardern‘s farewell speech and the native dancing in your parliament.

Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

Ka pai! Probably a more even view of NZ history than I was taught in a NZ school. Still, many Pākehā reject learning more about Māori history or culture because of fear...so education in schools from a non-colonisation point of view is definitely needed.

[TheZainshah]

Really good. This video needs more views
