      Thatʻs not entirely correct neither. Were there warring tribes? Yes, but many tribes had alliances and mostly maintained relative peace.

And Ngāpuhi (whom muskets were sold) sought revenge over past grievances that involved multiple tribes & their allies across the North Island. My iwi was allied with half of those involved in the Ngāpuhi raids.

    A lot of the video is spent deploring the (obviously deplorable) actions by Cook et al. I would have enjoyed that time being spent doing some exploration into what went into the mindset of the explorers of that era. What personal and professional motivations caused them to make the decisions they made?

    My friend, if you'll allow me to make a suggestion, maybe stop saying "natives" and say "native people" or "indigenous people" instead.

'Natives' has some patronising colonialist overtones that it's safer to just avoid nowadays ...

    Good grief, what the hell are you using for research, some right wing NZ books? ( we do have a rotten undercurrent of that here too)
    That 'melanesians' could have been settled in NZ when tasman came here goes back to the BS once published in the NZ school journal, a gov. publication for teachers, that the Moriori people in the Chatham islands were 'Melanesians' from earlier 'migrations' to NZ, but were invaded, enslaved and almost annihilated by the Maori from the NZ 'mainland'... re enforcing the 'convenient' assertion that 'superior races' replace 'primitive races'.. e.g. that the 'british race' naturally replace the Maori. e.g. social darwinism.
    Maori had already been in NZ for several hundred years when Tasman visited.
    Note: I've still flushing out 62 years of crap I 'learned' in this country, but have seen a lot of progress, but we are still learning the hard way.
