Around the 10th century AD,the Maori people migrated to New Zealand and settled there in isolation,living by gathering,fishing,hunting and farming,and gradually forming a unique Maori cultural tradition.Captain Cook's landing at the end of the 18th century broke New Zealand's isolation from the outside world.Driven by the global expansion of the British Empire,British whalers took advantage of the abundant whale resources in New Zealand waters to actively develop the whaling industry.The boom in whaling had a huge impact on Maori tribes,and the introduction of new species and Western ideas changed the way of production,life and thinking of the Maori people.Meanwhile,the Maori people also fought hard against the colonial rule with practical actions.Thus,in the first half of the 19th century,through commercial activities led by whaling,the British formed a dual relationship of integration and confrontation with the Maori people,the emergence of which is an inevitable product of globalization.
