Significant Milestones In The History: The Invasion Of Parihaka 1881

Hundreds of Pequot natives lived in a circular area surrounded by tall tree stumps to create a wall, it only had for openings meaning that if the English could get in unobserved they would be very close to a victory. They depended on the element of surprise for this victory. The English commended themselves to god and attacked. They planned on killing the inhabitants and then looting their goods. They slaughtered everyone, men women, and children, showing d no mercy. Realizing that they would not be able to murder everyone by using hand weapons, they burned the village and the inhabitants with in. Burning the village had not been their original plan, it was a plan B if the first plan began failing. There were no survivors; an estimated five hundred Indians died that night, with in an

Indigenous people have suffered throughout their lifetime under the strain of white, modern-day, culture. We have violated the rights of the Hawaiians by stealing their land, polluting once beautiful oceans, over-populating their homes, killing native species that once prospered, banning native language and history, and especially in the exploitation of their culture in a way in which we can create a profit for ourselves, while continuing to belittle the Hawaiian beliefs and practices. It is up to us to correct the misguided actions of the past, and return what was wrongfully stolen from them. I believe that Hawaii should be able to dissolve from the United States, and in doing so have both their land and culture returned to them.

They were taking their natural resources therefore a group of Aborigines launched a series of attack on the settlers.

* Union victory also increased trade with Latin America. Mexico freed itself from French rule in 1867, but risked economic manipulation by its larger northern neighbor, the United States.

They did not want Native American to be in the world anymore. So instead of killing them they choose to let them died on the way to their new

The Mahele was unjustified time because they took their land from the Hawaiians and made them pay for it, . The Mahele started in 1848 and the hawaiian government was overthrown in 1893. Foreigners thought that Hawaiians would give up their lazy ways if they owned land. The foreigners took the Hawaiians land without them knowing. The Mahele was unjustified because they had no food, they took the land without them knowing, and they only talked english.

Since European invasion in 1788, Indigenous Australians have fought to retain their rights and freedoms and to have governments recognise them. From 1788 and onwards the British created settlements on land that Aboriginal people previously used and controlled. Throughout the 19th century the government applied policies of ‘protection’ that have segregated Aborigines from Australian society by denying them equality and opportunity. They have achieved some significant changes in the brawl for acknowledgment (Anderson, 2014). Certain key developments that are significant in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders struggles for rights and freedoms are ; 1967 referendum, Mabo decision, bringing them home(stolen generations) and the apology. These four main key developments have been momentous developments for the Australian Indigenous population that are now allowed they’re human rights and freedoms.

After overthrowing the Queen, the Committee of Safety set up a provisional government(The Overthrow of the Monarchy). This shows that they didn’t really care for the greater cause and only for themselves. This act didn’t really change much and the Committee of Safety is trying to stabilize their position by increase their power with their own government. After hearing that James Blount is telling them to give up power, the provisional government surrounded him. They later also made the Republic of Hawai`i to refuse giving up power with a blaming to Minister Stevens, pushing all the responsibility to him. The Committee of Safety will do many illegal and corrupt things for power. The main reason of why people support the overthrow is for economy benefits, which will help Hawai`i in advance, but Hawaiians aren’t doing great, so then the economy benefit doesn’t matter that much

Throughout history, the government has made many negative decisions in regards to the treatment of Aboriginal peoples. They regarded the Aboriginal culture as a problem, and used Residential schools in an attempt to resolve it, doing irreversible damage to Aboriginal communities. They also failed to acknowledge the opinions of Aboriginal peoples - specifically, the Mohawk - and violated their sacred land, resulting in the violent conflict known as the Oka Crisis. The government has made many mistakes that left lasting impacts, but despite the negative role they played in the Residential schools and the Oka Crisis, they have recognized their wrongdoings and attempted to correct them.

People can be very greedy especially Americans and when they want something badly, they are going to fight for it. The colonists wanted the land to be theirs and the “Indians” were willing to share, but they did not want to be forced out. But the Natives were going to be forced off the land one way or another. With so many people in a small area and no medical equipment was even invented at the time to prevent it, disease started to spread quickly killing hundreds of the Native Americans. Disease killed 90 percent of the Native Americans to be exact.

The challenges faced By Indigenous Peoples in achieving justice, are both complex and extensive. These issues stem from successive centuries of asserted colonial power, which consequently has resulted in the undermining of rights for many Indigenous communities, including the Australian Aboriginal Peoples and Maori Peoples of New Zealand. Systemic abuse of power has resulted in the gradual erosion of Indigenous culture, and as thus, rights of Indigenous communities, including Intellectual Property and Cultural Rights, have been neglected. As a result, a growing body of declarations, statements, and other developments both within governmental systems, as well as in the wider international justice arena have been received. However, many

A Key conflict that endures as one of the most noteworthy events in New Zealand’s early history is the Waikato war of 1863-1864. The significance of the battles lies in the definition of the status of Maori and Pakeha in New Zealand. Particular historic debate surrounds whether the Waikato war was caused more primarily over the dispute of land or sovereignty. Maori were rising against British control and domination over them exhibited by establishment of the Kingitanga movement and the resistance to land sales. Responding in a way they saw that they had the right British invaded the Waikato. The outcomes of these events still hold debate and controversy in the regions of occurrence even today. With large loss of lives on both sides directly from the clashes, as Maori retained their pride refused to surrender to the British’s superior technology. New laws were passed as a result of the resistance involving shameless policy’s which marginalised Maori and there rights further. The consequences of this war were drawn out until the late 20th, when finally reparations were made in full.

Analyse the impact of European contact in Māori between 1642 and prior to the sighing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840.

Throughout New Zealand history, historical roots have played a significant role in the development of modern Aotearoa New Zealand. The historical past has shaped various forms of present social dimensions within the nation today. This essay intends to discuss the controversial racial inequality in regards to the relationship between Maori and Pakeha within contemporary New Zealand society. This essay will explore two readings; “Plunder in the Promised Land: Māori Land Alienation and the Genesis of Capitalism in Aotearoa New Zealand” by Wynyard, Matthew and “Stereotypical Construction of the Maori ‘Race’ in the Media” by Wall, Melanie. This essay will also further discuss a brief summary on my personal reflection

In the beginning of the 19th century, almost all New Zealanders were considered to be Maoris. The Maoris made up nearly the whole country, with a population between 100-120,000, while the European population was down in the hundreds. In 1818, the Musket Wars resulted in the loss of over a fifth of the Maori population, at least 20,000 dead and thousands more captured (“Overview of NZ”). The Musket War was a war that began when the Europeans introduced their advanced technology and muskets into New Zealand. The Musket Wars were a series of inter-tribal wars caused by tribes all trading to obtain muskets. At the end of the wars, in 1830, a new conflict for the Maori population took rise when “warfare gave way to economic rivalry” (“The Musket Wars”). From 1830 on, Europeans would come to New Zealand in waves of hundreds and thousands of people, threatening the Maoris’ once complete control over the land. This brewing economic rivalry was what paved the way for the Treaty of Waitangi, New Zealand’s founding document. This treaty was interpreted differently by the English and Maoris, something the British had purposely done. The British plan to deceive the natives resulted in both land and governmental conflicts. Land disputes caused by the treaty’s misinterpretations between the Maori people and the settlers sparked the New Zealand Wars in 1861-1870. At the end of these wars, new laws were passed that nearly abolished Maori rights. In 1896, New Zealand was no longer a Maori
