NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH.

Nothing could be further from the truth.
Some maori tribes refused to live by the laws they signed up to in the Treaty and became murdering outlaws still practicing cannibalism with the settlers being the food supply.
They were hunted down by the good maori as well as the settlers and army.
When found, they were NOT murdered etc - they were more often than not effectively let off with minor reprisals and sometimes their land was confiscated, as was the custom of the maori themselves (utu) as well as the British legal system that was in force for ALL.
