This photo represents how the British settlers found new Zealand and tried to make a deal with the Māori to share their land with the British. I believe that both countries were screwed over! I think that the British had too many things going on, and so did the Māori! Māori people had people invading their land, and the British had the French invading them, it had just happened, so maybe the British were a bit freaked out at the time and tried to rush the treaty over to the Māori before they got invaded again! but that’s just a theory. A NZ THEORY!! aannd.. over.
