( Four minute read)

On the bottom of the world New Zealand is the last bit of dry land to be colonised by humans. In this regard it is just a baby – 700 years old.

It was first seeing in 1642 by a Dutch man. Not for another century did Cook turn up.

To day in the land called New Zealand by the colonists and Aotearoa by the original owners, no one really knows who owns what

It’s not the British crown, it’s not the indigenous Maori, before the Middle Ages no human had set foot on New Zealand.

Its history has been passed down by oral tradition of Polysion peoples over forty generations developing into a settled people called Maori.

So perhaps it was the Moa Bird that owes what is now called New Zealand.

How ever it’s looked at the declaration of independents which led to the what is called the Waitangi Treaty which is not a treaty but a covenant.

There is one thing for sure no body was crossing ocean nautical miles to go home empty handed.

All human comments appreciated. All like clicks and abuse chucked in the bin.
