Time for more reading. Anne Salmond's "Two Worlds", 'Between Worlds' and "Trial of the Cannibal Dog" are all excellent although probably too in-depth for our purposes. To get a perspective on the viewpoints and reactions of europeans and their early encounters with Maori they are worth a 'quick' look.
A more general and interesting read is James Belichs "Making Peoples". I recommend this as an excellent adjunct to the main text "Century of Change". If there is enough demand I will get more copies for the school library.
A number of students in the past have found the old "New Zealand Heritage" magazines useful. You can often find them in second hand bookshops. You may find them hidden away in your parents wardrobes or attics.
Later in the topic Maurice Shadbolt has written an excellent fictional trilogy about New Zealand in the 19th century. 'Season of the Jew' details Te Kooti's campaign, 'Mondays Warriors' - my personal favourite tells the story of Kimble Bent and his relationship with Titokowaru, while 'House of Strife' covers the Northern War and Hone Heke.
