Some great people spend their lives for the nation and these people are so special for the nation. Captain Cook was so genius person and worked so hard to give the protection to the people. But it is very sad that he murdered in this way.

He wasn’t special for OUR nation or our Polynesian and other Indigenous cousin’s nations. It wasn’t sad at all. It was long overdue. He was nothing but a colonizer, a taker, a thief, exploiter, a MURDERER who KNEW his diseases wiped us out and also shot and killed KINGS! Good riddance!
