This graph shows us that the Maori population was steadily dropping through the 1840-19880s. And that the European population was growing quickly through this time.
I think that the reason that the Maori population was dropping through this time was, because of the deaths that the newly introduced, musket caused and sicknesses like influenza that killed many more. And I think that the reason that the European and population was increasing was, that many were learning of the trading that was taking place in New Zealand so many look to go there to obtain land and trading deals.
