The graph below shows the population of Maori and Europeans in New Zealand between the years 1836 and 1901, and how the numbers of people change.
Why do you think the numbers of Maori changed?
When Europeans in New Zealand, there was a lot of conflict between the two cultural groups. A lot of Maori people were killed in armed conflict against the Europeans (the Europeans having more advanced weaponry).
Why do you think numbers of Europeans changed?
As time went on, more and more people from Europe migrated to New Zealand from wherever it was they lived beforehand (mostly countries in Britain, e.g Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England). Therefore the number of Europeans living in New Zealand increased.
