When invaded by Europeans the Maoris prepared for the worst possible outcome which was basic removal of their society as a whole. European rats took over the Maori rat, an animal that was normally a necessity to most Maori natives. Clovers took over where ferns had been and the Maori waited for their own extinction. More and more of “Europe” took over as time progressed. Somehow, even after the population hit an all-time low in the early 1890s, there was a spontaneous growth and well over 250,000 people established themselves as Maori in the year
