The Maori fought the early European settlers of NZ predominately because the settlers where unfairly taking the Maori peoples land off them as the Maori believed the Europeans were wanting to share the land, however the settlers wanted to purchase the land outright. The Maori people soon realised that the settlers did not want to share the land but by this time allot of the land was in the settlers hands. As more settlers came into New Zealand, they began to cheat the Maori people out of their lands using contracts unfair laws and such. Out of all this the Maori land wars began, this was the Maori people fighting for their land. This did not work well for the Maori however, and the outcome wasn't positive for them. Lots of them died, others were jailed etc, then the settlers used the wars as an excuse to 'confiscate' more land. Eventually the Maori people used land marches, strikes and land occupation to, in the end, start to get their land back, or compensation if not possible.

New Zealanders : Maori (the indigenous people) and Pakeha (non-Maori).

Pakeha, which means non-Maori. Pakeha New Zealanders are uniquely fortunate in that, unlike the non-native people of other European colonised countries, they are honoured by being called by a name given to them by the native people.
How many New Zealanders have maori heritage?
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.
Where do Maori worship?
Maori is the Maori religion, which is based on traditional Maori mythology and beliefs. Some Maori follow all sorts of Pakeha religions including many types of Christianity, from Mormonism to Rastafarianism.In the early days of European settlement, Maori tried to get along with the Pakeha by accepting their religion, so some churches developed that are a Maori version of other Pakeha religions. One example is the Ratana church.
Why did both Maori and Pakeha want a treaty?
Both Maori and Pakeha wanted a treaty for different reasons.

The British (or Pakeha) had been trading their musketts with the Maori, in return for food, flax, or land. This led to many Maori being killed a lot faster in their tribal wars.

As you can imagine, this led to many arguments and fights.
