What year and where did this incident happen? 1939


Compare box one to box two. What is the difference in understanding of land ownership? That the European settlers are pouring into New Zealand

Why was Wakefield surveying the Wairau plains? Faced with a shortage of land in the Nelson colony,
The New Zealand Company under Arthur Wakefield was keen to acquire additional land.
They traveled to Nelson and made it plain to Wakefield that they retained title to the Wairau Plain
and did not intend to sell unless they were offered a generous price.

What is the offence that Te Raupraha and Te Tangihaeata are to be arrested for?
This argument was a thin one: how Te Rauparaha had acquired the land was irrelevant if he had not included it in the sale to the company. Nevertheless, a decision was made to arrest Te Rauparaha and Te Rangihaeata on charges of arson.
In your own words, summarise the events at Wairau that led to the deaths of 30 people in total. 

Four Māori and 22 Europeans were killed in the first violent clash between Māori and Pākehā since the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. Nelson colonists were keen to occupy the Wairau Valley, where the New Zealand Company claimed to have purchased land. Ngāti Toa disagreed, obstructing surveyors and destroying their huts. The chief Te Rauparaha insisted on an investigation by William Spain, who was looking into pre-1840 land purchases. Instead, warrants were issued for the arrest of Te Rauparaha and his nephew Te Rangihaeata, and an armed but untrained posse set out from Nelson to detain them.

Rūaumoko

Rūaumoko, son of sky father Ranginui (Rangi) and earth mother Papatūānuku (Papa), is thought responsible for all violent stirrings beneath the earth. The rumblings of earthquakes, the molten hiss of volcanoes, and the inevitable rolling change of seasons.


What is the story?

Rūaumoko was at his mother's breast when this happened, so he was carried into the world below. He was given fire for warmth by Tama-kaka, and his movements below the earth cause earthquakes and volcanoes. Rūaumoko is also known as the husband of his niece Hine-Nui-te-pō, the goddess of death and a daughter of Tāne.


What had the people observed and used to explain what was happening?


When there is an earthquake he is waking up which causes them to move and it is just like Pregnancy because when you are inside of the belly you are always kicking and moving around in there.

Why Are There Laws And Penalties For Meth?

Meth is a class A drug under the missile of the drugs act and therefore attracts severe penalties. Manufacturing, importing, Dealing and possession for supply can lead to a life sentence. Possession of five grams of methamphetamine (A Tablespoon) is enough to warrant a conviction for possession of a supply. Those caught importing the precursors of methamphetamine without a licence can attract jail sentences of up to eight years. Possessing a pipe or utensil for smoking methamphetamine is also an offence and can result one-year jail term or a fine of up to $1000.

What Is Methanthatime?

Methamphetamine is an extremely addictive, powerful stimulant. It produces wakefulness, hyperactivity, and a euphoric effect. Methamphetamine is also known as speed, pure, P, burn, goey, crank, meth, crystal, ice, and yaba. Methamphetamine is a powerful, highly addictive stimulant that affects the central nervous system. Crystal methamphetamine is a form of the drug that looks like glass fragments or shiny, bluish-white rocks. It is chemically similar to amphetamine, a drug used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and narcolepsy, a sleep disorder. Other common names for methamphetamine include blue, crystal, ice, meth, and speed.

Who Can/Can’t Use Meth?

No one can because Methamphetamine is a class A drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act and therefore attracts severe penalties. Manufacturing, importing, dealing and possession for supply can lead to a life sentence. Possession of five grams of methamphetamine (a teaspoon) is enough to warrant a conviction for possession for supply. Those caught importing the precursors of methamphetamine (pseudoephedrine and ephedrine) without a license can attract jail sentences of up to eight years. Possessing a pipe or utensil for smoking methamphetamine is also an offense and can result in a one-year jail term or a fine of up to $1000.


How does meth lead to poor mental health outcomes?

Methamphetamine – or simply, meth – is a central nervous system stimulant drug that can lead to severe social, occupational, legal, and health consequences. Aside from a spectrum of potential physical health concerns, meth users frequently experience co-occurring mental health issues. The symptoms of meth addiction can exacerbate the symptoms of co-occurring mental health conditions—including anxiety and depression.

  • A co-occurring mental health disorder can complicate a user’s ability to get help and stay sober if they are not getting integrated treatment, i.e., dual diagnosis interventions that aim to address both conditions simultaneously.

  • Users may feel they are blocking troublesome psychiatric symptoms by using meth (i.e., self-medicating) and this erroneous thought process makes it difficult to stop using the drug.
