I dont agree with all of it, but if you look at the british empire days they practically went sailing around trying and most case succeeding in colonising every continnent bent on we natives should live the british way - New Zealand is one such country, Australia is another we live under british law or taken their laws. But having said that Maoris did the same before the Maori there were people in this land called the Mori-hori which most Maoris refuse to accept they ever existed otherwise they cannot say we were the first on this land therefore we have all land rights. Shssh you didn't hear this from kiwi but Mori Hori WERE the first. We conquered and wiped out all but a few and sent them off to an island to live on.
Also i always tell those pro NZ only movements who tend to blame everything thats british that we were very lucky to be invaded by the british they at least had morals and let us live alongside them. If we were invaded by the White South Africans whom by history tried to beat the british here, we would of all being either wiped out ( their was less than 50 thousand of us back then) by them or become slaves under a SA NZ apartied rule.
Anyways we get back our revenge when we beat england in rugby :p
Sorry Steed no offense
