Very intense culture... More so than the Hawaiians.. so I guess Captain Cook stopped once he found Australia and went into Sydney harbor. God bless the indigenous people of New Zealand.
They only arrived around 1300AD, they’re Polynesian colonists, not indigenous. Also, in just the few hundred years between them setting foot on the unfortunate and previously unscarred beauty of little wee NZ and the first European, they burned down roughly half of all the incredibly ancient forests to flush food out to eat it, wiped out 50% of all the equally ancient endemic species that were not to be found anywhere else on earth, which included all species of Moa (a gigantic flightless rail) and the worlds largest ever eagle, the Haast eagle. The arrival of Europeans with advanced food production abilities saved my beautiful NZ from their outrageously destructive practices. Practices which Richard Dawkins once described as "The greatest act of ecological vandalism in human history" Not indigenous, never in harmony with the land and unceasingly rapacious & destructive. The same practices that fellow colonising Polynesians created on Easter Island were occurring in NZ and the arrival of Europeans arrested it. Don’t buy the hype.
@@biggest23 I wasn't buying the hype I was just saying they were intense... Which you confirmed by their destruction of everything on the island just about...
@@alexcooke9805 .....For me, as a NZer that loves these islands, the saddest day in human history was the arrival of Polynesian colonists here. Time travel...... if only.
@@biggest23 I can understand your frustration all you can do is go forward from here..... I'm half Australian by blood..my dad was in the army Air corps at a navigator on the b17 and met my mom on leave when he was visiting Sydney... Got married in 42 and then she came back on a boat and he kept fighting the Japanese... Now we are more friends with the Japanese because they want democracy and freedom away from China which is the world's worst on humanitarian and helping people anywhere.. so all we can do is go forward... All's good... Again God bless you and your family...

This was so interesting to see during the broadcast, I didn’t know anything about the islands and the story of the eruption was pretty intense.
New Zealand,
Amazing!❤❤
Great video. Auckland is VERY special

Wish there were more Maori like you that accept this treasure belongs to all Kiwis

Don't forget the Hawaiians killed/possibly ate Captain Cook, I'd call that intense
