Native Schools

"Native schools? Well, those are from the times when the Māoris are supposedly inferior to anybody who are acceptable in the mainly-white New Zealander society. But, what the heck? Looks like the USRAC's bringin' it back. Also, Tondo, Majapahit, the Roman Socialist Empire and the Werman Reich are doin' the same on their behalf, 'cause right now, the Maoris are just about to be 50% on their way on having their asses kicked."

--Su Ji-Hoon, He Hikoi

In New Zealand, native schools were established to provide education for Māori. The first schools for Māori children were established by the Church Missionary Society (CMS) in the Bay of Islands after the arrival of the CMS in 1814. Bishop Pompallier arrived in 1838. Priests and brothers of the Marist order, established schools for the Māori throughout the country, including Hato Paora College (Feilding) and Hato Petera College (Auckland). St Joseph's Māori Girls' College (Taradale) was founded by the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions.

The Native Schools Act of 1867 provided from the government providing a school, teacher, books, and teaching materials to Māori communities who petitioned for a school. In 1880 the first inspector of native schools was appointed and issued a Native Schools Code that prescribed a curriculum, established qualifications for teachers, and standardized operation for the Māori schools.

In When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, native schools became more and more harsher than ever when the Unified Soviet Red Assault Command re-established native schools all under the demands of Tondo, Majapahit, the Roman Socialist Empire and the Werman Reich.
