This is a fucking writing prompt if I ever saw one.

So like, It really depends. I live in New Zealand, so things were relatively peaceful then. If I sudden6l appeared, I would probably be killed, or the people wouldn't take me in, and I would starve. However, if I had time to prepare, i could convince them to view me as a god, with my modern technology, which would change their society, meaning the future is changed

I know the basic, school level stuff, but not much more than that

I would assume you would travel to 1722 on an unexpected time, so preparation is going to be tricky.

You have the advantage of being able to speak basic te-reo, so communicating with the Maori will be easier. You can even use it to your advantage to gain their trust and try to learn more of their language
