The History of New Zealand

- 🇳🇿 The History of New Zealand begins in the Middle Ages, when humans first arrived in the form of the Polynesian explorer Kupe. New Zealand was the last significant land mass on Earth to be settled by humans. The following five centuries saw the development of what became the Maori culture. The first European to sight the islands was Abel Tasman in 1642, but it was Cook in 1769 that thoroughly mapped the islands, leading the way for the first European settlers in the following decades.

🇳🇿 Initial contacts between Europeans and Maoris was peaceful, although the trading of land for muskets resulted in the Musket Wars of the early 1800s. The British sought to control the disorganised state of land purchases with the Maori through the Treaty of Waitangi of 1840, which established British Sovereignty of New Zealand and the first colony. Many Maori tribes felt they had been deceived by the treaty, and rebelled in the decades-long New Zealand Wars of the mid 1800s, in which many lands were confiscated by the British from the Maori.
🇳🇿 British settlement of New Zealand accelerated during this time. The British settlers were given a parliament in 1852, and the capital moved from Auckland to Wellington in 1865. Gradually the forests were transformed to pastureland and millions of sheep generated wool to be sent back to the mills of Britain. Later came meat, butter and fruits, an export trade that dominated the New Zealand economy for a century or more.
🇳🇿 The Liberal Party reforms at the end of the 19th Century included New Zealand bringing the first equal votes of women anywhere in the world.
🇳🇿 New Zealanders joined Britain with the ANZACs in World War I, and again supported the mother country in World War II. New Zealand would finally gain full independence from Britain in 1947, after earlier gaining Dominion status in 1907. Post war international relations continued with Britain but also the USA in the form of the ANZUS pact that saw New Zealand troops supporting the US in Vietnam.
🇳🇿 Domestically New Zealand suffered as agricultural exports slumped in the Great Depression of the 1930s. Out of this came a welfare state that increasingly dominated the economy up to the 1980s. But the 1970s saw New Zealand lose its greatest trading partner when Britain joined the EEC in 1973. New Zealand was forced to change its economic base and this accelerated with the economic liberalisation of the 1980s and "Rogernomics".
🇳🇿 New Zealand finally separated from any influence of the USA when it declared a Nuclear Free Zone in 1984. The subsequent failure of the USA to condemn France's sinking of the Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior in Auckland harbour the following year confirmed this fracture.

Lived there for two years. Amazing doesn't begin to describe it. A wonderful place.
I remember in High school I had to give a report on the history of New Zealand. It's not an easy thing to do in 20 minutes. I had to breeze through so much that it could've easily gone hours. So I think given the time frame of this video and how much it covers. You've created a good primer to pique the interest of others to look further into the history.
Thanks so much! Yes, "less is more", certainly in terms of effort. Very hard to condense!
@@Geodiode Hehe, I was going to comment that of course you left out plenty that could have been covered, but given the time of the video I think you did bloody well! Old mate @slamtilt here pretty much summed up my thoughts, so uh... good job, well done and chur my bro!
Do not believe the lies set paradigm in the NZ history curriculum. See Truth. “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32
the truth doesnt come from the perverted word of a few corrupt men@@stephenhoward7454
Hours???? NZ history is a 5 minute speech at BEST !!!
Table tennis has a longer history than NZ does
I've been all over this world, more than 40 countries on every continent except Africa and Antarctica and yet I've never been next door, to New Zealand. Thank you for your presentation of this amazing country.
PS: In the future I think an episode on the Island of New Guinea, not the nation, but the entire island. From its hot tropical lowlands to it's rugged ice capped peaks and it's vast cool highland interior, I think New Guinea would make an interesting study. But for now I'm looking forward to the next video on NZ.
You're welcome. It's funny, but we so often don't go "next door" - I've never been to Ireland!
As the island of New Guinea is not a "Nation State" then it would fall within the Infamous Geography series, and indeed, the cannibals there would make it "infamous" so, yes, it would make a good episode...
@@Geodiode Also that pygmy tribe from New Guinea .. Wherdafarkarwee ( say it slow ) 🤣
Haere Mai. Pop on over some time, Bro. We will make you feel very welcome, and you may like the natural beauty and friendly people here.
Just wanted to point out that when Abel Tasmin came to NZ, their fleet were attacked after Māori came out to the boat to see who they were. It’s written in letters from the boat that they were scoping out who they were, Abels boat and a second boat travelling alongside thought to blow instruments which to Māori was perceived as a challenge. Māori then towed back to shore and came back with a larger fleet and killed some of their men.
Yea, but imagine if someone who looked nothing like you arrived on your shores in boats several times larger than yours, therefore i think it is understandable that they attacked abel tasmen and his crew
Fun facts, my kiwi brother: it's Tasman - you can see that on any map. Also, if you mean "rowed" when you have said "towed" then actually that's wrong too, rowing is when you are sitting facing backwards to your direction, paddling is when you are facing forwards - which is what you do in a waka. All competitive rowers and kayakers know this.
@@IraiaF what total gibberish ,,, if an American aircraft carrier slid into your harbour your claiming you would attack it ,,,
@anastasiamananza5111 you for got to add when Abel Tasman land on NZ soil and said I have discovered NZ
Amazing video! I'm from the US and I have a friend that lives in New Zealand. Schools in the States don't teach history like this. I can't wait to see part 2.
Thanks very much. I do wonder what on earth is going on in schools these days regarding history, as I get other comments like yours...
that is a disservice to their u.s history. damn
US has lots of ancient megalithic history. Search CZcams.
Thankyou for being interested in our little country and I hope your Kiwi friend is a good ambassador of NZ and its friendly laidback, humble people.
American History is very very interesting.
All Peoples are on a journey.
Usually an internet presentation of our country gets so many things wrong. This one is one of the best I have seen. The Maori words in this video are often pronounced incorrectly but the content was good. There are tools to help you with Te Reo (the language) if you want to do a better job.
Glad you liked the video - thanks! Pronunciation is literally the hardest thing to get right when making such content, sadly.
Sadly that video gave more information than is taught to NZ kids at school very accurate overview
While it's a better video than most, it's still not great. Lacks context and I would hazard that you didn't consult with any historians from Aotearoa, and definitely non of indigenous lineage. The points you've chosen to highlight are essential points, but you present a whitewashed, colonised version of events which shouldn't be how history is portrayed.
I don't hate the video, I hate the idea that you think you can summarise our rich and complex national history in any short length of time.
For anyone who has watched this video and wants to learn more about Aotearoa, please come here and visit this country. This is where our history is told properly, not on some CZcams video. If you must consume history from the internet, reliable sources exist outside of this medium. Look to academic study by historians and experts in the relevant fields, not conspiracy theorists or the like.
Our country is amazing. It's vibrant and full of life, and I hope that you go back and consider the story that you're telling between the lines of your script.
@idontcare556 thanks for your critique. You make a valid point, but I feel that in this age of educational degradation, any summary where people can gain just a basic understanding of a country is better than no understanding at all. Yes, it's impossible to get all the facts and nuance in a 20 minute video, but then I never represent these as a single-source of info on a subject, but rather an introduction to more study should the viewer's interest be piqued.
@@idontcare556you sound like an idiot. Why would anyone want the history of such an irrelevant group of people as the Maori? Compared to Europeans, what have the Maori done for the world? Answer that.
Thanks for the video, always cool to see us getting the spotlight! Just a couple minor things I noticed which might be useful for the follow up video - Māori words don't use the -s suffix for plurals, so we just say "met with a group of Māori" or "Māori people", it's generally good practice to avoid "Maoris" if possible as that has some unfortunate connotations here! Also we use definite articles for the two main islands, so it's always "most of the conflict was in the North Island" and not "most of the conflict was on North Island". This isn't to take away from any of the video, it's a pretty good overview and the pronunciation isn't too bad in the scheme of things so good job on that!
Thanks for the info! I have corrected some of the grammatical errors in Part 2 which just went live today.
But, but, but, the guy is speaking English a language that uses an s to indicate plural. Germans, Swedes, Laps. As well, English recognises word for countries and people of other countries with words that have no meaning in their languages. Germans, Frenchmen, Spanish etc. English is a language that pleases itself.
I am a South African, visit New Zealand 2 months ago, my children and grandchildren have been living there for 4 years, what a beautiful country and we fell in love with it, will visit it very soon again
Bloody good history lesson. My ancestors are both Maori and English/Irish/Scottish. Maori ancestor was the Chief who brought his canoe in at Kawhia, on the West Coast of the Nth Island. Further along his line was the first Maori King Te Whero Whero and his son Tawhio (Tainui Tribe) who went to England to visit the Queen. (Victoria I think). She didn't see him though and he returned. He was a peaceful Leader and not well-liked by many Maori because of that. I have a family tree showing this, although it's quite hard to read. My Fathers side is Irish Scotts, and they both settled in Blackball where the first Labour Party was formed (coal mining). Grandad came to NZ from Scotland at the age of 18yrs, and Grandma of Irish descent was a 2nd generation. So I am 4th Gen on Dads side, and I would have to go throught he family tree to see what generation I am from Mums side. I could see the Maori features in. my Nana, but if you looked at me, I look white. My kids however are more noticeably Maori due to my husband having more a maori father (of Tanui descent) and an his mother of English descent.
Glad you liked the vid, and fascinating family history!
Ya sure lady.Your ancestors are responsible for genociding the natives, disempowering them and stealing their lands. Lets be real here !
You mean your ancestors are responsible for genociding the native population, enslaving them and then stealing their lands....at least be HONEST about it !
Hello beautiful, how are you doing today.
Such an exquisitely beautiful county. We had a holiday there 4 years ago and fell in love with it. Two Aussies 🇦🇺
Changed a lot after 30 years though. Puppet government(s) trying to divide the nation at their global masters whim. Don't let the 'yes' voice divide (non-elected aboriginal elite in Canberra). Keep Australia as one country = one people.
Glad you liked it, Sister.
Parts are beautiful, but most of the rivers are polluted and unsafe to swim in, and many streets in the cities are dirty with litter and graffiti everywhere.
Thankyou. Im a proud New Zealander and appreciate the effort you have made to produce this video.
You're welcome!
What are you proud of exactly ?
My fascination for New Zealand drove me to watch this video and it is very informative and well done! Cheers from Finland.
Welcome!
Thank you for this first video which was so beautifully done. Can't wait to watch the next instalments.
Thank you! Part 2 just went live today.
One of the best presentations I have seen. I wasn’t aware that the US had failed to condemn the French act of terrorism and now with China making moves into the Pacific we are suddenly their besties . Looking forward to your part 2. Cheers from NZ 😀
Thanks v much! Yes, ANZUS had been below my radar until I researched this piece. It also explain why the hell ANZ troops were in Vietnam.
thanks to national being friendly with china👎👎👎
yes.. It wasn't terrorism not only to USA but also Britain and Australia who always sided with the USA in very much many things...so NZ Aotearoa became Nuclear free...which stopped a lot of trade with the world as The USA took a stand against NZ for doing so. Trading with other countries basically came to a stand still as NZ were frozen out because of the stance against no nuclear weapons or anything nuclear. One thing I remembered which I thought was very funny was ...The USA always stopped in NZ to fuel their planes before carrying onto Antarctica..that was put a stop to so the USA had to refuel in the air...the USA were not happy about that
@@Rotavegas1 Where's your evidence for this trade freeze due to being nuclear free? Not belligerent, just very interested. Been a political buff most of my life, have not heard that.
Why do you say we are besties with China? Is it just because we have a free trade deal?
So beautiful presented, as always❤️
Thank you so much 😀
An absolutely excellent video on the history of the country I grew up in and now reside today. I’ve subscribed and recently been enjoying your other great videos. Keep up the great work
Welcome aboard! And thanks so much, glad you're enjoying the content!
If you live in New Zealand you would know the Mori oris were the first people , remember that the winners of war write the history
I really enjoy your videos, this series are incredible.
Thank you very much!
Great video, my ancestors came here as ex convicts that had completed their time in Sydney and Tasmania. One brother on my dad's side married into northland Maori and the other ended up in the south island gold rush. I love my/our history and the multi cultural advances we are implementing now and always proud when I see us in a documentary like this. Can't wait for episode 2..many thanks
Thanks! And nice to hear of your family history. I hope you'll like Part 2 also, coming in a couple of weeks.
Some of my convict ancestors crossed the ditch too. I am proud of all our tough ancestors.
Brilliant!!! as a kiwi (and an old one) it’s so refreshing to see a geohistaclime without an agenda or bias whether it’s intentional, bred or general.
Big hat tip to you sir.
Thanks v much. I try to run the tightrope of neutrality in my presentations. Hard to do with so many opinions in the comments ;)
What bias are you referring to?
I am in love with this wonderful country with its still virgin nature compared to other countries. I was amazed and very pleased that the Maori language is written first on information signs. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen anything like this either in Canada or Australia.
Beautiful country, beautfiul people. Lived there for several years coming from Ireland and the people were some of the most welcoming
Another great video. Thank you!
Our pleasure!
Just can’t get enough of these videos of Newm Zealand. The history of which I know backwards and which I’m one of 6 generations.
This is realy cool! Thanks for your work!
Glad you like them! Thanks!
I really enjoy the Video ❤❤❤
I'm excited for the Part 2
Glad you liked it!
@@Geodiode ❤️❤️❤️🤟
I am a New Zealander, Descendant of James Jackson ( a gggggreat grandfather) his ship landed at Jacksons Bay, bringing cattle fro. Australia to the South. Unfortunately Jackson Bay wasn't farmable. They changed mission, and came up to the Marlborough Sounds. Te Awaiti in the Tory Channel where they Whaled, providing whale blubber, which was used for so much at time. I have been out to the whaling station, it is an incredible place to visit. He use to trade with locals and local maori worked alongside James known as (Jimmy) I have the hardcover with the whole amazing story.🐳
Fascinating story!
Wonderful video and presentation!!!! 👏❤ Bravo to you! Amazing work! It's crazy to think how new new Zealand's history is, especially compared to countries like Greece. I actually didn't realize new Zealand was uninhabited by humans for so long. In Australia it's very different with indigenous people having lived here a very long time ago
Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the sub! Yes it's an interesting contrast between Oz and NZ regarding first peoples. Amazing what a few hundred miles of (Tasman) sea can make.
great video man!
just subbed!
Appreciate it!
As an Asian Kiwi, it would have been nice if you touched on the waves of immigration into NZ from other parts of the world. The 1860s gold rush of NZ is quite interesting. Post-WW2 migration would also be nice to touch upon. This would make for a more comprehensive representation of NZ history.
Great work !! Coming from a Nzer!! Looking forward to part two!! 🙌🏻
Awesome! Thank you! Hope to see you at the premiere shortly.
This video makes me sad. I wish New Zealand could focus on the things that unite us rather than all the things that have been dividing us. This is such a great country and we just need to do a little bit more to make it an even better one.
I think like the rest of the world it seems, it's not so much the 'focus' on either uniting or dividing issues that is the problem, but the tone (and during rona the social acceptability of even having a conversation) of the discourse that's impeding our progress. As a species I don't think we realise how big an impact the internet has had on our societies and haven't adapted to suit. Those who profit from fractured tribalism will always encourage it, and this century has been fertile ground for them so far. Kia kaha e hoa.
@@JanjayTrollface the tone of the discourse? What are you talking about?
One Country = One People "...Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:” Matthew 12:25
I agree lukethebrown1, fully. But I think also JanjayTrollface may have a point there about the tone of discourse. The way people express themselves - even earlier in this comments section - is not always respectful, no news to anyone online of course. But she is right: there are no rules of engagement (and people bluster, obscure and vent) and that is holding up the progress of people understanding one another and coming toward unity. - Please let an old man say that, for the women in my life, the quality of the communication WAS the status of the relationship.
Congrulations . Hug from Cuiaba city , Brazil
almost all of us' kiwis' will learn that peoples lived here before the Maori, three separate kinds. Also recently the european narrative of historic towns construction is in scrutiny of possibility and especially necessity. Furthermore we ask why our government is concealing finds , areas and information for many decades to come... why so many lies and what worldwide history including N.Z. is being hidden from us ? I love watching the scenic film and will therefore hit the like, your welcome, from another proud Maori.
Fascinating stuff!
Thanks!
We learn more about New Zealand ...I am a Sri Lankan ...But I like and love this
peaceful country....very much...
🌤️🌻💖🇱🇰🇦🇺
very good information ! Thank you so much !
Your videos are amazing ❤
Thank you so much 😀
Love my Kiwi roots, but as a student in the 1960s I was taught about the Moriori being NZ first settlers
Yeah, that got swept away! See "Skeltons in the Cupboard" series
and that is right
The Moriori were, in fact, Maori, who developed some linguistic and cultural differences on the remote Chatham Islands. The "extermination" of them by Maori was, in fact, just part of the Maori tribal wars that took place for hundreds of years after settlement on Aotearoa.
What about the waimai (pale red haired people) called the children of the mist mentioned in the Tuhoe tribe folklore from Taranaki.
If we are going to do a history open up the confidential government files .the geological evidence should be bought out in the open. The truth will only set us free.
Unfortunately, it won't happen. The paradigm has been set. Also, “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32 - We are "made" free. Being born again. God Bless. 😇
What a great short form history, and a much better narative than I got in school in NZ. My parents arrived from the UK in the late fifties. From working class backgrounds they were looking for a better life. They were able to acheive it and I and my brothers and sister grew up in a 1/4 acre suburban house. At the time Kiwis called our country Godsown. Short for God's own country. It will always be my spiritual home.
Informative video
So nice of you
I am a proud New Zealander, born and bred. Three of the Grandparents are English and one grandfather Danish. They came out to New Zealand in the early 19th century. I was born during the WW2 and remember the end of the war even to this day. Born in the Hawkes Bay I grew up in Wellington, and spent my 40 years of married life in Rotorua.
Trivia note: The U.S. game show The Amazing Race has been on for 34 Seasons, & they have traveled to New Zealand for 4 of them; 2, 5, 13, & 22 (which aired back in 2013).
Also the presenter is a New Zealander
Excellent video 😊
Thank you!
As a kiwi,
Nga mahi
This is an amazing essay upon our land, accurate and unbiased
Kia Kaha koro
Thanks v much! That means a lot!
Not only were approximately 30 species of Moa made extinct but also huge populations of seal and fisheries decimated. As well, in the first centuries of establishment the Māori cleared approximately 40% of all New Zealand's native forests through fire and hewing. (Not so much 'virgin forest' in the South Island). My point? They did nothing different than other colonisers. As well, you missed out the effect of the "Musket Wars" in which approximately 20% of the Māori population died in Māori on Māori fighting - many Māori signed the Treaty of Waitangi seeking the protection of the Bristish Government against warlike neighbours. (All these facts are readily available at Te Papa (Wellington Museum (history section)). My point? Such is the way they all were in those days.
Awesome video! As someone who’s moving for a few years (longer if I find a way) I am trying to learn as much about the history of the beautiful country ❤
One of my favorite countries
New Zealand is enchanting!
Always want to return.❤
Loved the video man keep it up 🙏
Thanks! Will do!
Very nice video, left me wanting to know more about the history of the country. Are you perhaps planning another epic recounting of a nation's ancient past like Greece in the near future? I really liked that one and wouldn't mind seeing another like it on India, Egypt, Iran, etc.
Edit: Oh you already did one on Iran, sweet. I'll have to check out your older stuff!
Thank you! Saw your other comment on Iran and replied! Yes I'll be covering India and Egypt, although the latter I just covered partially in my new video on the Nile.
seeing people talk about nz is quite funny as we aren't talked about much and aren't even put on alot of maps and i have to say you did pretty well with your pronunciation
that being said he could ease off on the a's when saying maori, its pronounced mo - ri
Thanks, yes, it's often cut out of global maps because of its far position.
Could you please make a video on Guatemala? I think it is worth checking out!
My parents were both from New Zealand...my ancestors' travelled by ship to New Zealand...I am SO proud of their amazing courage!!!xxx
Thank you, a great video. I am an Ex-New Zealander, so I am looking forward to your part 2.
How can you be an ex New Zealander lol. I denounce my Kiwiness.
All the best Allan, I'm taking the piss.
Awesome, thank you!
@10:04 New Zealand, at the time of the Treaty signing was already under NSW rule after official word was sent from England in June of 1839, this didn't occur after the treaty signings, New Zealand' break away from NSW came in 1841.
WOW! This is a first-rate, information-packed video. This may be a stretch for 8th grade Culture Studies, but I'm going to give it a try with the students. I will definitely investigate other Geoiode videos.
am from new zealand. my ancestors can be traced back to south london circa 1820 and am of maori descent from the maori people of the whanganui river.
My ancestors came with the NZ Company in 1840 from Northern Ireland via Scotland under a UK entrepreneurial migration scheme (by buying land from the local Maori Tribes cheaply and reselling it on to early settlers at a higher prize' originally set up by James Wakefield and his Brother as a continuation of the South Australian Company earlier, this was happening exactly the same time as the British Monarchy were looking to take full sovereignty of NZ, with the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in Feb 6th 1840.
Fascinating to hear your parents were involved with Wakefield.
Scammers
Excellent!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video, I've been here for nearly 6 years in New Zealand so I got many acknowledgments for New Zealand's history after watching this video.
Thanks so much!
What is the outro music called it sounds amazing.
It's a track by Oleg Semenov "Nature Timelapse Documentary"
Thankyou for your effort in this video..
If any of you come to Aotearoa, and want to learn the depth, come and learn the storys from our Rangatira (Chiefs) here ..
You're welcome. And one day I hope to sit down by the fire and hear the stories! Hopefully in English ;)
Great video! Thanks also for soliciting feedback.
You're welcome!
Can you do Norway please? Love your videos
Thank you, yes Norway soon.
Viewers should also note:
New Zealand is so great almost 30% of the population now lives in Australia....
How does that work?
Australian taxpayers would like to know as well ..
As a New Zealander, I thought this was a very well done potted history. I enjoyed seeing early photos and posters I had not seen before. Personally, I am minimum 5th generation, originally from Ireland, Scotland, England, and a smidgen of Danish. Our Pakeha population is probably more of mixed British Isles origin than occurs in Britain. My husband is part Ngai Tahu (South Island), as is our youngest son. So I'm Maori by caesarean (just kidding!).
Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the fascinating family history!
Just can’t get enough of these videos of Newm Zealand. The history of which I know backwards and which I’m one of 6 generations.
Thank you very much. So no major problems with it? You'd be surprised how much savage criticism I've received on this.
@@Geodiode what kind of criticism? But don’t worry anyway. There are people who simply can’t see art. I would use your footage in a history class in a heartbeat. Possibly our Māori folk might criticize. I had an uncle who married a full blood Māori lady and I have a massive Māori side of the family. They bear a grudge but they have mixed feelings as they are very family oriented and accept their pakeha side anyway. I have tried to explain that they would have been colonized anyway. Very nearly the Japanese. In my heart I don’t blame them but life and progress in New Zealand has to go on in our beautiful country. Remember that anything you do and put out in the public will go through the criticism and bashing by the envious lot who were not able to make this perfectly lovely and informative documentary themselves. Looking forward to #2
@@carolisherwood493 not worth repeating, but mostly from the "woke" of which you seem to have plenty over there. I had not considered the Japanese before, but I think you're right, as they had designs on Hawai'i also. Anyway, thanks for writing back - nice to feel welcomed!
@@Geodiode I live in Italy. No ‘woke’ here. It won’t last. Don’t worry. Keep up the good work and don’t change the narrative because of the ‘woke’ brigade.
@@carolisherwood493 Or the French or Dutch. The outcome would have been way different!
Very good video thanks, from Irish immigrants (3 gen ago - over for the gold rush) and Dutch immigrants on the other side. Interestingly we didn’t even get taught much of this history at school growing up in nz, most of the history we got taught was US & some UK
Thanks, glad you liked it! Makes me wonder why they didn't teach more about your own country back in school, though I suspect it's radically different today with the progressives in charge.
I think it must have depended on the school. At a Marist Brothers school we had all New Zealand history for 3 years up to School Certificate exams (15yrs). When it came to the examination I remember there were 5 or 6 subsections of which you had to answer 3. So there was a choice of curriculum. (1971) At age 16 the following year we studied Napoleon-to-1848 Europe, the Russian Revolution and American Civil War.
Got to say such an amazing presentation with so much knowledge and history as a New Zealander myself I still learnt a great deal and proud to call this place home. Would be intrested in seeing a more indepth video into New Zealand politics and the greater effects they have had globally 😊
Thank you so much!
Many thanks for video, very well done and fascinating history. I have been to NZ (excellent trip and marevelous sites in both islands) and heard/read somewhere that Maori were NOT the first humans there (?). The story was there were actually ancestors who lived there before Maori arrival, but they were pushed to disappearance by much stronger well-organised newcomers…. True or false? Thanks for sharing if you know something and archeology facts (probably unlikely to find now) proving preMaori history. Thanks and looking forward to see part 2.
I've looked into this extensively and had so many theories around it. What I've arrived at (for now) is that there were people here when the fleet came from Rarotonga etc. They were mostly quite dark but there were some tribes of fair people.
The language was very similar with the new arrivals. At some point warfare started and the best looking women were taken by the new arrivals for wives. Later the Ngati Hotu who were fair were virtually eliminated.
I think the earlier dark people came from Taiwan via the islands. The maori culture has more elements of taiwanese aboriginals than the rarotongans etc do. Also in appearance. So really they are the same people who split. They all originate from Taiwan.
The Ngati Hotu had Persian ancestry.
It's also possible that very long ago shore living people were here as there was much more land above water.
@@rebeccabriggs2982 many thanks for sharing. Possible Taiwanese origin makes it even more interesting.
@MrSGhawker1 that's where dna testing points. From China to Taiwan then the Islands to NZ.
See "Skeltons in the Cupboard" series. Heaps on the Kaimanawa "wall" too.
Can't wait for this...thanks!

Great video! I do think the coverage of rogernomics could have been more clear. The reforms were not clearly communicated to the public prior to the election.
Even the PM Lange was seemingly unaware of the pure scale of the reforms, and in retrospect has said that it was very much a project of roger douglas.
Douglas left labour and went on to form his own libertarian party. The logic for roger douglas's labour membership seemed to be that national was too deeply conservative for such a large scale reform programme. Especially in the Muldoon era.
The documentary "Revolution" 1999 is probably the most complete visual history of that period. Well worth a watch if ur interested!
Enjoyed that, I believe some of your information is possibly incorrect, farming is still a major part of our exports, especially if you factor in agriculture and dairy.
Very interesting to see about the French influence earlier on, I didn’t know that.
Cheers
Tupaia (Tahitian) guided Cook to Aotearoa (New Zealand)
Wellington is my dream. I love NZed
I loved this, and would like to know more about the wildlife, there are a lot less birds now in NZ, 😔
Thanks! Birds are discussed in Part 2, albeit briefly within the confines of an overall doc of the country.
The Maori ate them or used them for hats ...
Native birds are making a big comeback throughout NZ because of strong conservation measures. The importation of mustelids, possums, rats and domestic cats is still having a serious effect on them, however.
i have been lucky enough to have visited NZ twice!! 1st time in 1992,(part of a round the world trip) and in 2002, a train and cycling trip in both islands!!
You forgot to mention the first inhabitants of New Zealand were the Morori's. The Māori people were the second and they took the land by invasion and near genocide. Using the Morori's as a food and slave source. (cannibalism) The survivors of this invasion fled to the Chatham Islands.
I am in my mid 70s and find it interesting to see New Zealand history being slowly but surely rewritten. And it seems that what was done by the Maori's to the Morori's is best forgotten about, and absolutely no reimbursement for what was stolen from them by the Māori's.
During the late 19th century some prominent anthropologists mistakenly proposed that Moriori were pre-Māori settlers of mainland New Zealand, and possibly Melanesian in origin.
In February 2020, the New Zealand government signed a treaty with tribal leaders, giving them rights enshrined in law and the Moriori people at large an apology, returning stolen remains of those killed in the genocide, and gifting NZD$18 million in reparations
The Moriori myth has long been dismissed by historians. Moriori were another Maori tribe who moved to the Chatham Islands and developed their own culture due to centuries of isolation from the mainland, but their language was still very similar.
So they massacred their own people then? Are you trying to imply that makes all the violence more acceptable?
The "skeletons in the cupboard" series was banned by NZonAIR, for unlikely reasons.

Welcome
Hey! I love this overview and all the information. For an upcoming research project I'm doing on British colonialism in New Zealand and resulting inequalities, do you have any specific sources you used to get this information? I want to be sure I can cite correctly, have correct information, and not incidentally plagiarize. Thank you so much!
i recommend te ara online encyclopedia
Thanks, nice job. One detail - we generally use the article when referring to the north and south islands, i.e. "the North Island" not "North island". Perhaps our ancestors could've dreamt up some more original English names for them!
Corrected in Part 2! And glad you enjoyed the presentation.
Well of course Cook named them New Ulster, New Munster and New Leinster ( The North, South and Stewart Islands). So Irish names really....
This is great. I love new zealand.
Thanks!
Made a visit to NZ in April. Hired a Harley and had 3 fantastic weeks exploring this wonderful land.
Perfect way to explore any country, although I hoped you brought waterproofs ;)
@@Geodiode I did as usual. I have some video to upload to you tube when I finish editing them.
The musket wars was due to Heke Pōkai.. he was a nobody, who leant pigeon english while living with the missionary and when these missionary went back to England Heke Pōkai went with them and in England he brought muskets then tried to ship these guns back to NZ but due to shipping law regarding weapons in NZ instead had to ship the guns to Australia and then from there transport them to NZ which he did..
And with his new found power he obtained marriage to a chief daughter of the Ngāpuhi iwi (far north tribe) making Heke Pōkai higher placed & renaming him Hōne Heke, then he Hōne Heke took a war party having learned the knowledge of english law stating (whoever is upon the land first, owns the land. ) thus Hōne Heke started mass genocide upon everyone in NZ regardless of race both Māori and Pakaha were killed so that it was only his tribe and his tribe alone who would owned the whole of NZ..
So everyone living in NZ at the time ie.. the Moriori & the Pakeha ( pakeha meaning not of the land or foreigner ) as well as all of the other Māori tribes (iwi) made a choice to ask for help to save them from Hōne Heke genocide.. final asking the English to come to their aid and putting and end to Hōne Heke agenda.. and so the Treaty of Waitangi was signed given all peoples of NZ to be one peoples under one law for all under one nation.
But Hōne Heke still was afraid that the English would soon learn that the Moriori peoples where here in NZ prior to the Māori washing up upon their shores so Hōne Heke hired two ships to sail to the Chatham islands where the Moriori had fled during the Māori occupation of their land, ie..NZ.
When Hōne Heke war party landed upon the Chatham Islands they were so sea sick that the Moriori nurse them back to heath, then one night the Māori lead by Hōne Heke turned on their host.. raping, killing, eating and enslaving the Moriori people, but when the English leant of this genocide being comment upon the people of NZ who're under English guardianship thanks to the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, they the English put and end to the genocide, forcing Hōne Heke to release all the enslaved Moriori people as well as to give back any and all stolen land on the Chatham Islands.. stating under English law there will be no more cannibalism or rape or enslaving people or taking of lands etc..
ps..Yes, I am a hori, aka iwi.. as I am a half cast Māori, as are all Māori are half cast now.. as there is not one of us Māori that is of pure blood left in this world.. We Māori referred to as iwi are all now of mixed blood lines made up of many races of peoples... yet kiwi's are treated as second class citizens in their own country.
To be born upon this land of NZ is to be called a kiwi and therefore a kiwi is a iwi of New Zealand, end of story..
❤❤ New Zealand😊😊😊
I dont remember ever learning about Kupe at school, and yet what a master of the oceans!
谢谢中文字幕
What about the Tohunga suppression act of 1907 that destroyed much of traditional Māori society ??? Healers , priests and other cultural specialists were over night banned .It should never be overlooked the evil of this act and the vile racism that attacked Māori of these times
Am a Nzer, thank you, enjoyed the story.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ojalá que nunca se hubieran ido a colonizar este hermoso país. Siempre las mismas potencias tratando de sacar ventaja de los indígenas que son los dueños de estas tierras. Buen documental .
Are you talking about the Maori colonizing the islands?
@@Geodiode i'm pretty sure he's talking about the british colonising nz.
Make a video on climatic zone ok uk i am confused wether temperate grassland or anything else
Have you checked out my two series about climate and biomes? They're on my channel page - covering the issues you asked about.
Yes I have watched every one of them still I am confused weather it is in temperate grasslands or in monsoon or in any other biome
You can make a climate casebook video or secrets of world climate
Morover the climate zone is Laurentian type yet the biome I don't knoe
Great lesson in history. Can you please let me know the name of the Māori in the painting at the start of the video and also featured later on? From the patterns of Moko, I’m sure he is from the Otaki tribe Ngati Raukawa and a relative of mine. But I have never seen this image of him and am unsure. Much appreciated.
The painting is “Paratene Te Manu” by Gottfried Lindauer, and depicts a Māori with his 'Tā moko. The subject of the portrait, Paratene Te Manu, was one of 14 Māori who visited England in 1863.
Thank you for clarifying. My whanau is Wi Te Manewha who has a very similar moko and also has a beautiful portrait. Thank you

Thanks Wendy, and thanks to @Aotearoa_Kiwi for providing the connection.
Excellent video. Thanks
Welcome!
Love New Zealand ❤
You should do about Bulgaria! One of the oldest countries in Europe - 681 year it was established
Good idea. Thank you!
You have completely left out the genocide of the Moriori people by the Māori
People get a bit.. well touchy on that subject. It's best we pretend it didn't happen.
kia ora for that boss!
Cheers!
