Aotearoa

 03.03.2021


Aotearoa


Finally The Waka arrived at some land which was not on the world map. The maori started calling this land Aotearoa and made it home for themselves. 500 years later Captain Cook found Aotearoa and put it on the world map. The maori people didn’t want Aotearoa to be on the world map.


The British came to Aotearoa and decided that they were going to change the name to New Zealand.The maori tribes started coming together and becoming an ultimate team. They fighted the british until they came up with an idea but they first had to stop fighting. The british kept attacking. It was close to impossible getting maori and british to stop fighting. Three people from the maori tribe including the leader Chief Ben Wooper made a giant sign saying STOP FIGHTING.


The british leader Captain Roya Ria came and stood in front of Chief Ben. They both decided that they will sign a treaty saying British shall henceforth be known as New Zealand. New Zealand and Maori shall never attack each other again. The people rejoiced and british was now New Zealand.
