Maori life before Europeans

Maori life before Europeans 

In the 10th century before Europeans came,  the bay of islands was a whole different place. Maoris would catch their own food, make their own weapons and build their own homes for them. 


They would do a lot of things like hakas and a lot of singing, they would also sail their wakas from land to land and would go hunting night and day.


Until one day the Europeans sailed and had found their land, and came across with a boat, kano and waka. When they had entered the land all Maori had already got settled.


When Abel Tasman ( the first European)  found that land four of his dutch men had got killed by the Maori. Abel Tasman was only visiting the land to find treasure but what he found was Maori killing his dutch men and giving them grief so Able Tasman took his boat and left with no treasure and none of his four men.
