Maori Rights & The Missionaries

The missionaries were trying to help protect the Maoris and there rights . If the Missionaries didn't help protect the Maori people , they would still continue killing there own kind and creating a bigger mess . Some examples of how the missionaries helped protect the Maoris was by buying land in trust , They taught them how to read and write in Te Reo , and also shared technologies with them . The last way missionaries helped the Maoris was to encourage them to sign the treaty because this was the best way to help protect there rights
