Early encounters in Aotearoa

Hello everyone welcome back to my blog.

We have watched a video about some history of Aotearoa. We had to take notes on it. Here are some facts.

The first European explorer was Abel Tasman who got here in 1642. He called it Nova Zealandia. The next person to arrive was James cook in 1769. The man that helped him was Tupaia. The Europeans brought some diseases. A musket is a gun/ rifle. The musket wars ended in the late 1830s. The ratio for Maori to Pakeha was 40 Maori to a tiny 1 Pakeha.

Thank you for reading my blog.
