The Treaty Of Hopewell - Native American Indian Tribes and US Government

This week in social studies, we have been doing our research about the treaties. For this task, we have our options between the treaty between Scotland and England or treaties between Native Americans and US government. As we finish our research, we need to create a presentation showing what we have found. I decided to do some research about the Native American and US government because they have a lot of treaties so it would be easier for me to find information. In our presentation we need to answer some particular questions like;

- Who was the Treaty between?

- How long was the Treaty binding for?

- What are the positives and negatives of being bound in a treaty?

- Are there any obvious similarities with people affected by the Treaty you have researched and those affected by the Treaty of Waitangi?

Population Change of Maori and Europeans in 1836 - 1901

In social studies we have been doing a line graph about the population of Maori and Europeans in 1836 to 1901. Base on the data that we've used to create our graph, we saw that the Maori population decrease every year and the Europeans population increase. I used spreadsheet to use my graph because it's easier if I do it there. 

What does the graph shows us?

The graph that we've made shows that population of Maori and European people from 1836 to 1901. It also shows us that Maori population decrease but European population  increase. 

Why do you think number of Maori's population decreased and European's population increased?  During this time, Maori's population started to decreased because of the colonization of Europeans in the country. Also, Maori people were exposed to many different diseases such as tuberculosis and influenza. Lastly, there are wars between Maori themselves which makes the population decrease. Talking about the Europeans population, there are more Europeans who discover the land and war between the Maori people and Europeans happened which makes there population increase.
