The daily life of the Maori was mainly getting food for their tribe, they would  also worship the rising and setting sun. The Maori were a very peaceful tribe, they never got into wars with other tribes or do anything that was wrong  (not like they could anyways) and all they did was sign a peace treaty with the British to get colonized. They were a really respectful tribe and nice people and never did anything wrong. The Maori worked really hard to reach their full potential. That's what the daily life was like in the Maori tribe.

What were the long term effects of the British?/Week 5

# data[].attributes.body
The long term effects of the British were good and bad. They did not get as much land on New Zealand, they did not get as much resources, and they had to share food. But they did get welcomed into Britain, they got treated equally, they were able to buy property in Britain, and were not forced to lose their native customs and language.
