Hongi Hika

Hongi Hika is a powerful chief of the Ngapuhi

tribe in the north land. He wanted to take revenge

past defeats of his family members. Hongi Hika is

friendly with the missionaries and sometime a bit

unfriends with other Maori tribe. Hongi had quickly

realised that he and the people from his side could use

guns and easily defeat other tribe. In 1820

Hongi Hika, Thomas

Kendall

and  other chief sailed to England. They also

helped an professor from England write the

first Maori dictionary and the grammar book.

Hongi wanted guns but Instead For a gift they

gave him a beautiful sword and suit of chain

armour. After his Visit to England he left to

go to Sydney in Australia to exchanged his gift

for 300 muskets and went back to New Zealand.

The other tribe only had axes and clubs to attack

the other Maori people but Hongi Hika and the people

from his side had guns that made it easier for them.

He kill over 5000 people but some was lucky to hide

in a safe place. Daring the war Hongi forgot to wear

his armour and he got short on the Chess and his 2

son die by the war but what comes around goes around.

And the other  tribe was Tired of fighting So they

Decided to give peace.
