I remind you that James Cook wasn't the first European to arrive to New Zealand. The Dutch Abel Tasman visited it more than a century earlier and baptized it with its current name. And there are reasons to believe that the lost Spanish vessel San Lesmes, from the García Jofré de Loaysa fleet might have visited it in 1526.

Has anyone else thought that Gene Roddenberry based his Star Trek series at least in part on the adventures of Captain Cook ? Roddenberry served in the US Navy in the Pacific during the war and would have known this history well. The Endeavor becomes The Enterprise, Captain Cook becomes Captain Kirk and I suppose that makes Joseph Banks (The gentleman of science) Spock ! They both boldly go where no man has gone before seeking new life and new civilizations. Like the federations prime directive Cook was under orders from the admiralty and the Crown to make friendly relations with the natives where ever possible. It didn't work out so well in this case however he was trying. Notice how the muskets were loaded with small shot ? That was the 18th century version of setting your phasers on stun.

I never thought of Star Trek that way. I think there may be even more connections in The Next Generation series.

Or the episode "The Inner Light"(the flute episode), where Picard is "abducted" in a manner similar to what Cook did to many native peoples.

The former makes scarier sounds, and THAT is what all animals (humans included) are instinctively fearful of. The humans, however, have the brain capacity to tell if the stick in the other's hand made the big boom sound, then make the connection between loud stick + dead mate = weapon, hence they retardily chased after them. And yes, charging into an effective weapon is not optimal for survival. Hence the body count Cook and his men made.

It was really interesting to get that first hand account of a people encountering firearms for the first time. It must have been so bizarre... are there even natural sources of the sound it makes that they might have heard before? It’s also telling of human nature just how fast they fixated on those weapons and wanted them. Few things are more interesting than the first encounters between two distant populations; I think it’s why my favorite episode of Star Trek Next Gen is Darmok. We’re all so painfully curious, and when you encounter someone you don’t understand and can’t communicate with you are filled with an overwhelming urge to bridge that gap.

The third encounter was not too harsh at all. His main objective was to get fresh water for his crew. His landing parties would be in constant danger unless he showed the indigenes that he had BOTH superior strength AND no intent to harm them if they'd stop attacking and attempting to steal from his crew. This is about as restrained as you can get. ....It shows a huge difference an Enlightenment makes (intellectual movement of the 18th century).

@vannplaysgamespoorly1772
@vannplaysgamespoorly1772 4 года назад
Coastal invasion by other Maori Iwi (Tribes) was a common threat at the time. The Maori were divided into hundreds, or even thousands of different Iwi who warred constantly - and brutally - with each other. Ritual cannibalism was not out of the norm. If you wanted to trade, seek shelter, or engage in diplomacy there was an established set of traditions that you had to follow. Forget the larger vessel anchored in the bay, a boat roughly similar in size and shape to the Waka - the Maori war canoe - arriving unannounced and outside of the regular customs, carrying men with unknown intentions, is, from their perspective, almost certainly a war party from a hostile Iwi coming to launch an attack on them. Their hostile reaction is pretty normal and to be expected considering the circumstances of Aotearoa at the time.

Assuming this account is honest and accurate, it does strike me as very bizarre how aggressive they acted to these new people. I was particularly surprised with the part where he was describing them essentially trying to steal things from them as they stood there. Regardless, it's amazing how messy that was. Poor decisions from both sides (admittedly by Cook). It strikes me as a very poor decision to attempt to get a boat to stop running away by shooting at them. Both parties just seemed far too eager to act in highly risky ways with one another, which sounds like a perfect storm for conflict when you have a massive communications barrier

I wouldnt be surprised if it was upbringing. People here have already mentioned they went to war often. This group had probably won many battles and had the arrogance that they were better than everyone they met. Or maybe it was part of an act. Treat people like shit to show youre better than them. If the people dont have enough courage and just roll over your assert your dominance, live, exploit their resources, etc. Just from being the bigger asshole. Id imagine primitive man was always hating the tribe over the hill regardless of where in the world they were. Its not until they became connected via trade etc and found they had more in common with the next village over, than the next nation over, did they decided to be nicer to each other and work closer.

Then they found the americas which they mistook for India, calling the natives Indians. And the carribean, the land of the fabled dogmen. Basically, in their search for India, they mistook everwhere to be India, or lands of dogmen etc etc.

It's like the film Independence Day there was an war going on between the Earth and the aliens. The aliens just came down in massive flying saucers and started blowing up anything they liked and we could do nothing at all to them because all their ships were energy shielded. Until Jeff Goldblum hacked them using a late 1990's era Apple Macintosh computer but that aside.

It's amazing how some people see this incident as james cook's fault entirely... he was fair and reasonable. They are trying repeatedly to make friends with the natives, so as to get all of the water and refreshments they so badly need. They were very cordial with many islanders throughout the Pacific, and of course some were hostile and you would never try to go ashore. The maori as their first gesture is to steal item of the strange visitors, I dont care what culture on what part of the globe you are, you dont even need to be human. Any mammal, knows if you steal someone's valuables it's a disrespectful fuck you to them and your liable to get repercussions.
