Most new settlers came from different backgrounds, such as Scotland and so on. Scot has immigrated in New Zealand after 1848.
Pioneers were hard working people. They were buying food from Maori farms and grew or hunted what they ate. Crops that they were able to grow were taro and sweet potato. In New Zealand, luckily fish and shellfish and sea vegetable are thriving. Also, there was plenty of wood for building. So, they built their own houses. In the south, houses were often made from cob. In addition, they made their own clothing.
Women’s job was keeping the family fed, clothed and healthy. Men’s job was clearing the land and looked after the livestock. Children were working hard, helping on the farm and with household tasks. And children had little schooling. The life of early settlers was not easy.
