Question

A prophet among these people blamed for the hanging of the missionary Carl Völkner advocated for the erection of niu (“new”) poles after receiving (15[1])a vision of Gabriel. A tree gum known as kapia that these people burned as an insecticide led to a lucrative mining craze in the mid-1800s. William Searancke’s granddaughter was a leader of these people who was denounced as a “German sympathizer” for her efforts to oppose conscription. These people made up the majority of a “Pioneer (15[1])(*) Battalion” that fought alongside a force commanded by William Birdwood. (10[1]-5[1])The founder of the “Hauhau” religion was a supporter of these people’s King Movement. (10[1])A chief of these people declared war on settlers by cutting down a flag (10[1])which he had formerly gifted to James Busby; Busby (10[1])had earlier negotiated a 1840 treaty (10[1])with these people. For 10 points, name these indigenous peoples who signed the Treaty of Waitangi with the British. ■END■
