The first Māori was shot by a member of Captain James Cook's crew named Lieutenant William Gore. This incident occurred during Cook's first voyage to New Zealand in 1769, specifically at the Bay of Islands, when tensions rose between the crew and the Māori. The shooting marked a significant and tragic moment in the early interactions between Europeans and the indigenous Māori people.
