The Populating of New Zealand

There are many myths and legends surrounding New Zealand’s history, but what is
certain is that Maori settled in the country long before the arrival of the Europeans. It is generally
believed that Kupe, an explorer from Hawaiki, accompanied by a small group of others in canoes
discovered the country about AD800. The country was named Aotearoa, which means the Land of
the Long White Cloud, and soon more fleets of canoes brought not only people but dogs, rats,
kumura and other introduced foods and animals to the country. These original settlers lived in
tribes, called iwi, and soon learned to live comfortably in the new land. These early Maori were
warriors, and tribal wars were common.

The population was undisturbed for over 300 years until 1642, when the Dutch explorer Abel
Tasman arrived on the west coast of the country. He christened it Nieuw Zeeland, after the province
of Zeeland from his own country, but Tasman’s stay was short lived and his contact with the
population at the time ended in a number of his crew being killed. Some hundred years later, in
1769, the British explorer Captain James Cook sailed around New Zealand. With the help of his
Tahitian interpreter, Cook had the opportunity to explore the country on much friendlier terms than
Tasman.

The first European settlers, named Pakeha by the Maori, arrived in the form of traders, looking to
make their fortunes from the natural resources of New Zealand. The practice of exchanging
firearms for goods paved the way for ever more deadly battles between Maori tribes, but armed
warfare was not the only thing the settlers imported into the country; they also brought other social
problems in the form of disease and prostitution.

Next came the missionaries, intent on bringing Christianity to the country. The first missionary
church was established by Samuel Marsden in 1814, in an area heavily populated by Pakeha.

By the late 1830s, British intervention in New Zealand was becoming stronger, and eventually lead
to the signing of a famous treaty, now referred to as The Treaty of Waitangi. Much has been written
about the treaty, and it remains a heavily debated issue even to this day.

Meanwhile, colonization continued on the South Island due to the discovery of gold and
developments in farming. The North Island wasn’t long behind as Wellington was named capital of
the country in 1865. In 1947, New Zealand became fully independent, although clear signs of its
connection with Britain still remain.
