My Dutch post

              My Dutch post

Some Dutch people wanted to come to new Zealand but the reason why they came because it is more safer then Holland and is

not a safe place for the people who lived their because in Holland  their was a war and the.y wanted to go to new Zealand But now they wanted to stay back in Holland.

Some people lived in new Zealand because

the Maori people killed 4 men and

that makes Holland a Bad place for the people who lives their they were sacred.
