Early Encounters in Aotearoa

Hello bloggers .

Today we watched Early encounters in Aotearoa. Here's what we learned. The first European explorer to arrive in Aotearoa was Abel Tasman. He arrived in 1642. He named the land Nova Zeelandia. The next explorer to arrive in Aotearoa is Captain James Cook. He arrived in 1769. The name of the chief navigator he hired was Tu Paia. The Europeans brought animals, diseases and potatoes. They got a gun called a musket which is a very old gun. The musket wars ended in the late 1830's. The ratio of Maori to Pakeha in Aotearoa in 1840 was 40  Maori to  only 1  Pakeha.
I hope you enjoy it and you can comment on my blog. Thx.       Abel Tasman

    A very good overview of events, supported well by the image you chose of Abel Tasman. Maybe add an image of Captain Cook and a musket?
