Report

I will write something I learned about NZ in this class.

First, I will write about treaty of Waitangi. It is a concluded treaty in Waitangi between British and Maori. The lands of New Zealand transferred from Maori to British by the treaty. Maori agreed with the treaty, because Maori want British to stop a civil war among Maori. The treaty was concluded by fifty people of Maori and Captain Hobson of British colonel. Hobson had been sent by the British government. The main contents of the treaty were divided into three. First, all Maoris have must been follow a queen of British. Second, Maori hold lands of New Zealand were insured. But the all lands were sold by only British. Third, Maori was admitted as the British nation. The treaty was written by English. And the treaty translated the English into Maori language that had some problems. Maori recognized that all lands of NZ were Maori’s by the treaty. But British recognized that NZ were a British colony. It were difference of knowledge. So from 1843 year Maori rose in rebellion to British.

I will write some explorers of NZ. Abel Janszoon Tasman is a first explorer. He visited Jakarta, Tasmania, NZ. When he arrived in NZ in 1642, his team was attacked by Maori. Maori was mistaken about attack. 4 people died by the action. He hadn’t been to there ever since. A second explorer is James Cook. He sailed three times with his team by Endeavour. Then he made a map of NZ. It was a very correct map. He used some kind of equipment.

I will write about Maori. They are native people of NZ. They are a kind of Polynesian. Their native language is Maori language. Its language was admitted as an official language in 1987. Almost Maori lives in the northern island of NZ. They dance an ethnic dance. It is called “Haka”. They dance before fighting and as a greeting of welcome. They have been living NZ yet now. Their country is “Hawaiki”. They came to NZ from there about one thousand ago. Now, the population of Maori is about fourteen percentages of all. Maori made many artistic works. The works is displayed at a museum of NZ. So Maori’s culture is taken over even now.

I will write a little about my first presentation. I spoke about Wellington of New Zealand. There is a capital of New Zealand. Many people visit there. The density of population is very high. There is a center of policy. So there is an important city. I spoke about some famous spots of Wellington. There are a museum, a cable car, a zoo. A famous museum of Wellington is a “Tepaa” national museum. It is like an amusement park. If people visit the museum, they can surely enjoy during a day.
Finally, I will write about my presentation. I spoke about Japan’s cartographer and New Zealand’s cartographer. New Zealand’s one is James Cook. The other one is “Tadataka Ino”. I want you to know not only James Cook but also “Tadataka Ino”. Then, I wanted to compare cartographers of both countries. I’ don’t know which person has trouble with measurement. But it is that probably both persons accomplished a feat. I told you how to make a map, essential equipments to survey, and their difficulty. I could know some information of both cartographers through my presentation.
