Probably wishful thinking that this will be taught in the new woke curriculum but we can live in hope.

Oh My....aren't you being a tad patronising? Did Maori have no say in the matter. Yes, arms dealing is an immoral business, but those who pull the trigger bear responsibility for their own actions.
But yes, the full history should be taught, including the slave keeping and cannibalistic slaughter.

I agree.
But, of course, their history is little different from other civilisations. Maybe they were a little later to the party but, I suppose, isolation can affect that.

It’s either the history of NZ or it’s not. The current direction is a curriculum of post-Maori occupation which is just part of NZ history

Unfortunately, the pre-Maori history is not decided - depends on who you talk to as to whether it is the history of NZ or not.
I don't have a view either way and find it all very interesting.

History is always through the lens of the current regime, usually to justify whatever is the current philosophy.

Yes for instance we know little about ancient carthage even though they were likely better than rome in agriculture, finance and had their own seperation of powers developing.
