These were some big moments in NZ history. Like the Treaty of Waitangi,Early Polynesians Navigates discovered NZ and Early Europeans sailing to NZ by ship.
New Zealand was discovered between 1270-1300 by the Early Polynesians. Early Polynesians used the sun,stars,moon and sea currents to navigate. They started to explore around 1500 BC. When they got to NZ they tried to plant coconut nut tree and other pacific plants but they did not grow because NZ was too cold. They first landed in the north island.
The Treaty of Waitangi was an agreement between the Maori chiefs and the British Empire. Hone Heke was the first Maori chief to sign the Treaty. Over 500 Maori chiefs sign the Treaty of Waitangi. There were two virgins of the Treaty in the British virgin it said that the British would take away Maori peoples sovereignty but in the Maori virgin it said that they could keep their sovereignty.
The Early Europeans sailed to NZ in the 1850s and 1860s. Early Europeans came to NZ for two main reasons to farm and for the Otago gold rush. When they arrived in NZ they had to make their way across the dirty,muddy and slippery way across the Bridle path. Girls did the inside jobs like doing the washing. Boys did outdoor jobs like going hunting and fishing.
These were some big moments in New Zealand.
