Answer
The Ngāpuhi were a group of Māori who lived in the North Island of New Zealand. In 1845, they were planning to invade Auckland, which was a British colony. However, George Grey, who was the Governor of New Zealand, was able to negotiate with the Ngāpuhi and prevent them from invading. He did this by offering them gifts and by promising to protect their land.
