Homework letter

For homework last week i had to imagine i was a pakeha trader at the time the treaty was signed.

Dear  family

I have been enjoying my time in new zealand. After the long trips of trading muskets i am certain to say i  have gained many experiences and earned heaps of new things although we have been attacked a couple of times. It has been quite good and i miss you all heaps. Many boats have sailed off and sailed to trade different things to the Maori living in new Zealand We have had some new Maori passengers join along on our ship and help us weave our flax and help with many other thing alongside the ship hope to be home soon and see you all i miss the English home and would love to see you all and see my experiences soon. We have not had any fights on board but the ships flag broke and we were stranded for days but we are now fine. there has been a lot of gunfire on shore and war but we haven't been involved there are many different ways i new zealand such as land claiming and trying to settle in. I hope to see some Amazing sea creatures in the future. I have been a little bit afraid of attack from land. We have traveled land many times . We will be needing to come home soon because our gun  amount is coming to a big low. I have learned some Maori and would love to share it with the family.

Hope to see everybody soon

your sincerely Sam   S_WAIT.
