I'm guessing you mean contact? The first Europeans in New Zealand were explorers (e.g. James Cook, Dumont D'Urville, etc). They were followed by whalers and sealers, who lived pretty isolated lives, followed by missionaries (religious folk aiming to convert Maori to Christianity). Some settlements started in the early 1830s (Bluff, Paihia and Russell) but it wasn't until 1839 that formal settlement got underway, with the New Zealand Company landing settlers in Port Nicholson (Wellington) for their settlement 'Brittania' (later abandoned, the settlers moved to Thorndon).

Full-blooded is a meaningless term in Maori society. There is only Maori or Pakeha (non-Maori). Maori is not just an ethnicity but a living culture. Terms such as 'full-blooded' are best suited to discussing animals not people; they are a dehumanising throwback to European colonialism.Note: The term 'Pakeha' is a New Zealand cultural term which simply means non-Maori. 'Pakeha' has no negative connotations whatsoever. Anyone claiming that 'Pakeha' is somehow derogatory is perpetuating an anti-Maori myth that has no basis in fact.
