Regrettably due alot to the 1st world war and later world depression a lot of maori abandoned their farms and villages and maori now in new zealand are overwhelmingly urban people.. This has drastically altered the use of maori language and maori customs, and created a wholly urban "modern" culture in its place. There is no maori towns or cities.. Or even villages.. Maori settlements in new zealand are small places with 100 or less people generally and are few. In 1900 many maori were farmers and there was many maori villages. In ww1 many maori volenteersed to fight and many took industrial jobs in cities never to return. Then during the depression many maori worked land as farmers own by their cheifs who incurred debts through budiness in the global collapse in the 1930s selling the land, often at very low prices to the new zealand government. The new zealand government made no attempt to retain the maori tennants and instead sold the land on, often to nonmaori farmers Who would pay more. Additionally many maori who ownd their land had small fatms 15-35 acres of land or less due to the maori custom of splitting the land for every son. This meant some farmers had only afew acres of good farmable land by the 1930s, not enough to make anything from. Most maori grew potatoes, cabbage, sweet potato, oka yams, ect and kept pigs- few grew fruit or nuts or things that coukd be profitable on smaller plots.. these crops they grew were nolonger in demand as they once had been and were producing very low profits. Many maori in that time were made destitute by debt and couldnt sell their produce and couldnt buy more land nor could thry buy modern machines and fertilizer so many chose to sell their land and move to cities to work. This period of time is when a huge change took place in maori culture, maori language was abandoned (the maori schools voted to make english the medium of intruction in this time) maori cutoms vanished as the structure of the tribe and authority of the cheif vanished with the use of english and the move to towns and cities that were of a english culture. Because of this maori society really broke down. Today maori are very numerous in new zealand but actuisl maori traditional culture is very rare. People including msori think the land wars in the 19th crntury were what dispossed the maori of their lands but this is a misconception.. New zealand was sparsely populated and the maori tribes claimed huge donains, they sold territory to the europeans where it suited them and kept the parts they viewed as more useful. Huge amounts of land were sold and seized from the tribes that conflicted with the colonists but those that didnt were rewarded with land or left alone. In the 1900s the maori still had large parts of the land in new zealand in their possession.. More than enough land - even among tribes that were harshly punished with land seizures in the 1860s-70s. . But the selling of land from about 1914 till the 1950s and abandoning farming is what really caused the destruction of the maori traditional culture. Infsct while the maori were in the process of abandoning their tradition land in the 1930s the new zealand government was at that time paying out millions of pounds in compensation to maori cheifs who sued them for illegal land seizures done by the government in the 19th century. The biggest losses were not done by force but by choice..

It would be pretty cool to go back to having villages, but everyone is to modernised nowadays eg social media, outside influences, etc. People aren’t the same as they were back then, I’ve met so many Maori that sound like foreigners using foreign slang and aspirations etc it’s not the same

COLONISATION THATS ALL YOU HAD TO SAY...SINCE CONTACT WITH EUROPEANS OUR FATE WAS SEALED!!

missing audio wonder why. its been taken out on Purpose hiding the main name of things skippinga lot of imfo

[@manchagojohnsonmanchago6367]

Haha what? Its because film deteriorates and audio goes before the pictures go.. They could probably try to restore it and retreive some of the audio but it costs a lot
