toc Welcome to our group!!

Hi World!!.. this is group 7 and in our group we have Michelle, Banu and Rebecca. It is important for everyone to know about the Treaty of Waitangi because we need to learn from our mistakes and we can learn about new things. Also the treaty of Waitangi has examples of Human Right Abuses, how the Maori were abused and it is important to learn how that has been and still needs much more restoration.

 * Add your work:**

//Chapter One// Once upon a time... there was a pre European New Zealand. It was all green and clean, where all the bushes and trees were alive and happy. The seas were full of diving dolphins, smiling sharks, and killer killer whales. The sun rose everyday as Maori conjured up new ideas. Maori were living collectively together. Then came a weird looking group of white people, looking quite tasty as they hadn't had a proper meal in a while. The white people came with ugly, funny looking hats, with accents and languages that Maori couldn't understand. The whites taught the Maori's to read and write, also taught how to grow crops and use new tools, changing the Maori way of life. As for Maori, they found new friends and from this there were many mixed marriages. The Maori were coached by the white people into trading their resources for useful items of the white. The Europeans changed the government system as well. The trees that were once green and happy were then cut down to create farm lands for farmers, and also to grow more crops. The seas grew empty as each day passed by. The diving dolphins are now dead dolphins, smiling sharks are now angry sharks, and the killer killer whales are now killed killer whales. = = =Task 2=
