Key Quotes: “Most of the stories [of Māori] deal with the period after this, where there were far more European colonists and Māori were being subjugated and wiped out… this period is when they were dominant, but they were just introduced to the musket and firepower, and gunpowder and all the repercussions of that.” – Lee Tamahori
