normally an occupying force kills most of the locals, and they die off or are assimilated,
the English tried something different this time.
The original Maori [who killed each other at every opertunity] may have a complaint,
there are no full-blooded Maori left, the ones that are claiming all the money they can from the Government/taxpayers are 1/2 or less [mainly much less],
They claim the land that some historians say was occupied by the Mori Ori who were here before they arrived.

Ours is the Biafrian - Nigerian wahala
The Biafran People are trying to free themselves from Nigeria and be a country of their own.
They claim Nigeria exploit their resources(crude oil) and do not use the funds for local development but divert it to developing areas they occupy (Nothern Nigeria especially).
A look at these areas validates the claim.
It's just like Egyptians and the Isrealites story but in this case the Biafrans are not fighting to leave the land but for it to be shared.
Last year this issue almost led to another Biafran war as they were many demonstrations and crises
