In 1830 there were 100,000 Māori and 100 Europeans living in New Zealand. The behavior of the Whalers, the Missionaries’ desire to help protect Māori rights, and the Musket Wars were reasons that a treaty was needed. The Declaration of Independence was another contributing factor to the need for a treaty.

Kristallnacht
What is meant by the term “Kristallnacht”?
Night of broken glass
When did this event occur?
9&10 of 1938
How many synagogues did the program claim were burned?
267 destroyed and burned
How many Jews were claimed to have died as a result of this event?
91 jews
How many were said to have been sent to concentration camps?
30,000
What was the reaction of the German people to this event?
It was the jew’s fault.
The document that was written shows that Kristallnacht was planned as the letter was written on November 8, 1938. Another example of showing that it was planned was because it stated that the Germans were allowed to go around damaging the jew’s business. The Germans were allowed to smash or damage anything but were not allowed to take anything. Non-jew businesses were protected from this so nothing was damaged. As soon as possible, officials were arrested many males, especially the wealthy ones.

The Nazi Party - Nuremberg Laws
Provide two examples of ways in which the Nuremberg laws affected the rights of German Jews.
They weren’t allowed to vote so that the Jews couldn’t have a say in who had the right to make the rules.
They weren’t allowed to have sexual interactions, Hitler was trying to split them up so that there was no interaction and friendships between the Jews and Germans.
What other actions were taken that discriminated against Jews in Germany? (Remembering)
The Nuremberg Laws did not identify a ‘jew’ as someone with particular religious beliefs.
Why do you think that the Nazis passed these laws? (Understanding)
The Nazi passed the laws to take away power from the Jews so they Hitler would have an easier path to dictator so he could complete his goal of world power.
If a New Zealand government passed a law that provided for different treatment of a named racial group in New Zealand, what do you think the reaction of most New Zealand people would be? Why do you think this might be the case? (Applying)
I think that the people of New Zealand would not approve of racist laws because we have many different races and cultures. We also are one of a few countries that are accepting of all races.
Do you think these Nuremberg laws were racist? Explain your point of view. (Evaluating)
I think that these laws were racist because they took away people's rights simply because of their color of skin and where they came from. They also took away many of the Jew rights and these laws also affected people who had some Jewish assent even if they did not identify as part of the Jewish race or religion.
Traditional Foods Unit
Maori Kai
Growing and gathering traditional foods was a big change for the Maori Culture. The Maori ancestors brought many edible plants from their homeland such as kumara, yam, and taro, these crops then had to adapt to the new environment. In New Zealand, the climate was much colder than their home.
Maori had a very traditional way of cooking food for their families, which was called a Hangi (Earth oven), this method was very useful for cooking meals for large families or big gatherings. Maori did not make pottery, so for them to boil water was to place a red hot stone in a wooden bowl of liquid. Nowadays, people use ovens, stovetops, microwaves, and other cooking sources to cook food. Hangi's are still used but not as often as they did, but mostly used for special occasions.

Social Studies - Human Rights
Human rights - Hitler View
Hilter said “the jets were responsible for bringing negroes in the Rhineland” this shows that Hilter was against anti-semitism because he showed that he didn’t like the Jews, he didn’t count them as the white race, and they lower the cultural-political level.
“The Jewish youth lies in wait for hours on end... spying on unsuspicious German girls he plans seduce” Hitler wanted to take the Jewish out because of what they did to the German girls, He wanted to keep the German a pure race.
