Whoever wrote this hasn't really done a lot of research on the history of New Zealand. The Maori were actually often a match for the British muskets, defeating them on numerous occasions. Hell, they evacuated people from a city for fear of a Maori invasion in 1860.
Don't try and paint Maori as being dominated in war by the British. It shows an ignorance of history.
