This book explains the history of the Maoris and the outlook for their future. They arrived in New Zealand about 1200 years ago, having travelled by canoe across the Pacific Ocean. Nearly 1000 years later, in the 18th-century, the arrival of Europeans led to wars being fought over land. Today, the Maoris and white New Zealanders have a more peaceful relationship, though land disputes continue. The "People of the World" series is an easy-reader edition of the "Original Peoples" series. The text has been shortened and simplified by an expert in the teaching of reading.
