These truths need to be taught at schools - one of the most compelling reasons that so many tribes signed the Treaty. They wanted law and order and a better life.
Sadly education, order and co existence is sill wanting. I do not believe people in general accept the consequences of their actions (both Maori or others) and the rule of law is hanging by a thread. The big issue facing Maori, who want to revert to their old ways is victimisation and until they get over this and see the positives it will be more of the same I'm afraid. As in Singapore the consequences of this breakdown in law and society must be a return to capital punishment (for all).
History is what successful societies build upon and learn from, whitewashing it like modern day academia is wont to do just means that the foundation of society becomes dishonest and fragile..... kind of like what TPMs and Toitū Te Tiriti foundations and beginnings have been shown to be.
Life wasn't all "teacups and roses" pre settlement days as modern academics would have you believe.
Another interesting tale of the Chatham islands amongst many is Jack Wheelers "The Lesson Of Chatham" on the escapeartist blog UK.
Yes, teach all the truths. We need to teach our own children. Realise they were different times. Understand the negatives of all sides. Relish the positives from all sides. Move forward.
If certain Parties moved forward they would have no reason for continued existence - not going to happen. Far too much pleasure in the current positioning.
When you understand the way of life pre-colonial days you can see why Christianity and the new rule of law was embraced. Re victimhood, responsibility is freedom. Take responsibility for who you are and then you realise you are the one creating your life.
I believe cannabalism began as a necessity, and was then incorporated into ritual. The Maori immigrants found that NZ was not a tropical paradise, similar to where they had come from, but instead, had very few edible animals and plants. They soon wiped out the large birds (eagle, moa) and traded with other countries for plants that would grow better in NZ's colder climates, than the ones they brought with them. But they were still extremely lacking in protein, and this has triggered cannabalism in other societies. I would say that not just the introduction of religious ideas, but the fact of European introduced animals influenced the dying out of cannabalistic practices.

Can Maori be encouraged to cease all infanticide Please?

Agreed. There is a definitely a financial incentive. Politics in general seems to be more and more about securing individual wealth.

"Missionaries challenged practices such as infanticide..."
Yes, haven't received a pass mark on this one yet.
How can I share this?

We can thank the chiefs in the 1820-30s who forsaw the outcome of Maori and checked out that the British Queen was the person to go to over others.
