-The graph shows us how the population of Maori and Europeans has changed throughout the centuries. The population of Maoris has dropped from a hundred thousand in 1836 to only twenty-five thousand in 1901. Even though the number of population of Maori in New Zealand dropped, The population of Europeans in New Zealand booms. From only to a hundred in 1836 to seven-hundred nine-ty thousand in 1901. This causes Europeans to become the dominant population in New Zealand up until today.
2. Why do you think the number of Maoris changed?
-Since the Europeans came to new Zeland trough a ship this causes the Maoris to get sick of the unknown diseases to Maori like common cold since there is no treatment of common cold in New Zealand at that time this causes them to die off. Another reason why the population of Maoris decreased is because of muskets. The Europeans traded muskets for food. Muskets are a powerful weapon that helps to conquer other villages to increase their mana. a lot of Maoris died because of the Maori civil war.
3. Why do you think the numbers of Europeans changed?
- When the Europeans came to New Zealand they were amazed by Maori females so they take them and had a little fun with them this causes them to get pregnant. Another reason that the Population of Europeans in New Zealand has increased is because a lot of people were migrating to New Zealand to build a new life there and find a new opportunity to start a new life
