Questions of Parihaka

Questions of Parihaka

What was the impact on Māori when of the New Zealand Company and other representatives of "The Crown" confiscated or purchased land very cheaply from Māori?
The New Zealand Wars were a series of armed conflicts that took place in New Zealand from 1845 to 1872 between the Colonial government and allied Māori on one side and Māori and Māori allied settlers on the other.


What happened to Māori who lost their land?
It has been estimated that by 1909 at least 18 million acres of it was in individual ownership, almost none of it had been settled by Māori. In the 20th Century there was further loss of Māori land to the Crown through private and Government purchases and under the Public Works Act, that sometimes breached the Treaty.

Where and how did they live?
They were taken to jail and they didn't eat, if they didn't eat they will die, so the Europeans had to let them free because if they die they would think they were the killers.

How do you think the New Zealand wars impacted on iwi and groups of people who were no longer able to live on their whenua?
The New Zealand war made everyone hart broken and they made everyone scared of the Europeans.  

What does the word PEACE mean to you?
world peace mean to me not war not fighting non violence

What is "passive resistance?
It is using non-violent opposition to authority, especially a refusal to cooperate with legal requirements.

What does the phrase mean?
phrase is a group of words that work together to make meaning.

What other ways are there to solve major issues between people / countries that do not use violence as a way of controlling others or solving problems?
Another way to become more passive is simply putting others in front of yourself more. That's not to say you should be a pushover and let people insult you, be afraid to speak up for yourself, or avoid conflicts like the plague, but sometimes help others achieve a positive outcome for them.

Who are some of the other world leaders who have used passive resistance? What was their cause and how is/was it peaceful?
The story of the peaceful resistance of the people of Parihaka is a treasure
