Brief History
The first settlers in Christchurch were the Waitaha tribes who inhabited the area during the 13th century. These tribes hunt for moa, which is an extinct giant bird that can only be found in New Zealand. A war between the Waitahi tribes and the Ngati Namoe tribe occurred in Christchurch with the latter tribe winning the quest. The Ngai Tahu people defeated Ngati Namoe tribe and ruled Christchurch until the arrival of the first Europeans during the 1800s.
