Those peoples established settlements and were known as Polynesians and people of European ancestry. 
Polynesians were water known as Māori. The history behind the Europeans and the Māori is very complicated.
They argued about land and authority and clashed about many other things in general.
As Europeans took over, they made the other people move to smaller settlements in other regions of the country.
