English settlers and their migration to New Zealand


English settlers and their migration to New Zealand

People who migrated from England were guaranteed a life of wealth in New Zealand
Agree, because New Zealand was  country that was only owned by Maori tribes, so the Pakehas migrated to New Zealand so that they can get a better life and have more land.
In England there were diseases that were spreading, and that’s why the Pakehas wanted to migrate to New Zealand, because there were no diseases.


Maori welcomed settlers from England with offers of land for rent
Agree, because the Maori people wanted to trade land for little things that were important to them like a blanket or a musket. They were willing to sell their land for civilization and equality.
These things were important to the Maori because they have never used any of these gears or weapons. Muskets and blankets were like 100 pieces of gold to the Maoris that’s why they traded land for such little things


English settlers worked together with French settlers to help Maori with health issues
Agree, because if the Europeans and French settlers didn’t help the Maoris with their health issues, then the diseases that came from their country would pass throughout New Zealand and a lot of people could’ve been very ill and die.

Missionaries were liaising between Maori and settlers
Agree, because they switched each cultures, like they switched Maori into English and English into Maori
