How could the Maori have prevented British colonization of New Zealand?

Being unified, not being cannibals, not believing in mana, not using slave labor.
The musket Wars would have never happened.

What has being cannibals, using slave labor, and believing in mana got to do with it?
>>1359919
Why bother? New Zealand is the only place where the British were actually decent to the natives, and the Maori loved them.
>>1359945
Being cannibals, slave labour, and the concept of mana all require regular, if not nearly constant war. This left the tribes disunited and thus easier for the English to conquer.
>>1359945
The various iwi/hapu targeted one another for those reasons.
You should like do general research on Maori history before asking these kinds of questions. Otherwise it makes it look like you want us to do your homework or make an alt history for you.

>Maori love them
AHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Being unified against a common threat is not the makings for an easy pickings game.
While certainly issues would arise that came to war it would not need to get to the irl point to have them fight the British.

Nah being unified got you targeted since you were a threat.
>>1360044
Also sooner or later the British would start a fight.

Not signing the treaty of Waitangi? But then they'd just get dicked by the French. Most of native fucking was done in courts anyway. You can't own land without someone's name to it, after all. It's part of the shit that comes with becoming British citizens.
Guns, germs and steel
Are Maori the broest race of any savages?
>Love fucking people up.
>Pretty funny.
>Their traditional cooking is literally just inviting all your mates over for a giant underground BBQ.
Mean as.

They couldn't. Even if they killed all of the bongs, eventually said bongs would have come back and simply stamped them out.

Challenge the Britain forces to a match of Rugby over the sovereignty of the land

the Hawaiians were unified, didn't help them at all
