Sooo toxic! They should have been nicer and probably would have convinced more people their way of life was superior.

did you know that the Maori's got a much better deal (and evetually a treaty) than the Native Americans bc they had permanent housing structures? apparently that's how it was judged if a land was colonized or not.
I didnāt know that. One of the major differences between the MÄori and North American natives is that they are one people, and fought together as one and negotiated as one people. In the US and Canada there are so many different nations and tribes, that have a long history of fighting against one another, that the treaties and negotiations are so different for each nation. Iāve read papers that also point to this being the reason that the MÄori have been more successful at maintaining their language, culture and methods of educating their children. There are schools and universities that teach 100% of their curriculum in the MÄori language.
my ex who is kiwi and educated thru Waldorf alongside Maoris told me that. and that they negotiated as one makes sense too. he also told me there were two tribes, but one got guns from the English and slaughtered the other tribe first then negotiated?
Yes thatās right. Was the same with many tribes in NA. Those who could Master the horse first, cutoff trading routes for other tribes and then traded for guns. They took over.
