Maori

Brown skinned people who rowed on wakas to new zealand.They encountered the moriori who were the native race to new zealnd at the time. The maori people eradicated the moriori and conquered the lands, nothing dissimilar to what the europeans were doing all over the World. The europeans arrived. War started then the europeans decided to trick the maori into a truce and sign a treaty to stop the war.
the injustices of this treaty at the time have somewhat backfired. All pakeha are paying for their ancestors rule. It is justice for all the early settlers lying, deceit and thievery.
Maori people were sold as slaves, beaten if they spoke maori, segregated from society, forced to follow the white people way and laws. They maori race was oppressed.
Since the opening of waikato university the maori people have become well educated and adapted to society, it seems quite ironic that the pakeha people are now the ones who aren't coping in society. They generalize that all maori are dumb, always pull the 10% of population is maori and 90% of prison inmates are maori when in fact, there are no more full blooded maoris left, they all have european blood, so technically there are over 90% pakeha in jail.

Maori - a race who returned to their roots and embraced their culture to overcome oppression.

Pakeha: yous think you own this land.. There were people here before you... They own it, not you!

Maori: yep bro, but my ancestors ate them, theres no more left, so now this land is OURS!!
