no they didn't try lmao. there were a few rebellions in which kupapa maori fought alongside british to defeat savage retards going on rampages.  maori lost most their land through post war confiscation and were allowed to exist because there was massive lobbying for ethnics in britain by wokeoids of the time. maori at the time of the treaty knew they were fucked and capitulated to the crown in return they got to keep their land and treasures and to self govern.  however that self governing is of course not to mean they were apr are equals to the crown in this agreement.  british didn't need maori. they offered a deal so as to look good to other european nations.  these days maori people should be allowed to self govern. especially the large tribes. let hamilton, gisborne, areas of taranaki and northland be maori autonomous zones that have their own tax rate and shit. maori could open casinos like native americans or other shit to become rich from tourism. basically allowing most people to live off the benny
