Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book casts fresh light on Maori attitudes at the time of the Treaty of Waitangi, both of those who endorsed and those who opposed it. Compares the relative impact of the two classes of Europeans who had already settled here: on the one hand the missionaries and on the other the runaway seamen and convicts escaped from New South Wales. Above all, it contrasts the reactions to these new influences of the three leaders who reacted in very different ways to the changes in Maori life: Hongi Hika, Te Rauparaha and Hone Heke."--Publisher's information.
Download or read book Hongi Hika and Hone Heke written by Preller Geldenhuys and published by . This book was released on 2018-10-16 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hongi Hika (1772 - 1828) and Hone Heke (1807 - 1849) were two fascinating Maori warriors. Hongi was instrumental in convincing Samuel Marsden to establish the first mission station at Hohi - Oihi Bay and the second mission station at Kerikeri. Hone Heke married Hongi's daughter and was one of the first Maori chiefs to sign the controversial Waitangi Treaty.Both traveled to England, bought weapons and fought in the New Zealand musket wars. Hongi died from wounds received in battle and Hone died from tuberculosis.The writer had been introduced to this historically rich and fascinating area, prompting the production of the Cook and Marsden, and Hongi Hika and Hone Heki account.The vast volumes of books written on these famous characters are best left with the learned authors. My account is thus a pictorial presentation to complete a simple puzzle which is indeed much more complex than what my humble writings suggest.
Download or read book Hone Heke written by Paul Moon and published by David Ling Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This biography is a captivating account of the life of the Nga Puhi warrior chief Hone Heke. It is set against a background of political turmoil and ethnic tension, and at almost every turn, the reader will be surprised at the remarkable events and circumstances that engulfed New Zealand in the mid 1840s. Most New Zealanders know little of Heke except that he was the man who chopped down the flagpole. Now, Moon's research has revealed far more about this warrior who at one stage seemed to hold the future of the colony in his hand. Moon has portrayed Heke in an honest light and has combined his qualities, strengths, weaknesses and vanities in such a way that he breathes life on every page.

Download or read book Islands of History written by Marshall Sahlins and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-03-06 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marshall Sahlins centers these essays on islands—Hawaii, Fiji, New Zealand—whose histories have intersected with European history. But he is also concerned with the insular thinking in Western scholarship that creates false dichotomies between past and present, between structure and event, between the individual and society. Sahlins's provocative reflections form a powerful critique of Western history and anthropology.
Download or read book Cannibal Jack written by Trevor Bentley and published by Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited. This book was released on 2010-05-03 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a frontier society full of colourful characters in early nineteenth century New Zealand, Jacky Marmon, more commonly known as Cannibal Jack, was more colourful than most. Jumping ship off the New Zealand coast, he first lived among Ngäpuhi at the Bay of Islands, where he acquired five wives and served his chief as a trader and white priest. Joining Hongi Hika's great Musket Wars campaigns against the Tamaki and Kaipara tribes, he claimed to have served as Hika's personal war tohunga. He survived to settle in the Hokianga from 1823 and was involved in Hone Heke's Flagstaff War of 1845. In this biography of a wonderfully curious character, the author of the bestselling Pakeha Maori traces Marmon's life and times, drawing on his own knowledge and research as well as on Marmon's own – not always reliable – personal accounts.

Download or read book The Treaty of Waitangi written by Claudia Orange and published by Bridget Williams Books. This book was released on 2015-12-21 with total page 1009 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840 by over 500 chiefs, and by William Hobson, representing the British Crown. To the British it was the means by which they gained sovereignty over New Zealand. But to Maori people it had a very different significance, and they are still affected by the terms of the Treaty, often adversely.The Treaty of Waitangi, the first comprehensive study of the Treaty, deals with its place in New Zealand history from its making to the present day. The story covers the several Treaty signings and the substantial differences between Maori and English texts; the debate over interpretation of land rights and the actions of settler governments determined to circumvent Treaty guarantees; the wars of sovereignty in the 1860s and the longstanding Maori struggle to secure a degree of autonomy and control over resources." --Publisher.

Download or read book Old New Zealand and Other Writings written by F.E. Maning and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2001-07-01 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Old New Zealand (1863), F.E. Maning recalls living alongside Maori in "the good old times before Governors were invented, and law, and justice, and all that." His account of the early contact period is widely acknowledged to be a masterpiece of some sort, but the extent to which it is fiction, autobiography, ethnography, history, or satire remains a matter for debate. This is the first scholarly edition of Maning's writings. It includes a revealing selection of Maning's unpublished letters, and Alex Calder contributes an introduction and notes that illuminate the works' historical, ethnographic, and literary contexts, showing how settler colonialism is an incomplete and contested process, the problems of which are enacted in Maning's writings, and repeated in the history of their reception.
Download or read book The Penguin History of New Zealand written by Michael King and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2011 with total page 726 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Zealand was the last country in the world to be discovered and settled by humankind. It was also the first to introduce full democracy. Between those events, and in the century that followed the franchise, the movements and the conflicts of human history have been played out more intensively and more rapidly in New Zealand than anywhere else on Earth. The Penguin History of New Zealand, a new book for a new century, tells that story in all its colour and drama. The narrative that emerges in an inclusive one about men and women, Maori and Pakeha. It shows that British motives in colonising New Zealand were essentially humane; and that Maori, far from being passive victims of a 'fatal impact', coped heroically with colonisation and survived by selectively accepting and adapting what Western technology and culture had to offer. This book, a triumphant fruit of careful research, wide reading and judicious assessment, was an unprecedented best-seller from the time of its first publication in 2003.

Sitting alongside her major works – including the 2010 Book of the Year, Encircled Lands – these essays explore sidepaths and previously unexamined histories. They notably delve into the lives of powerful early Māori figures, including the prophets Rua Kenana and Te Kooti, their wives and their descendants, and the leaders of the Urewera. Binney brings figures out of the shadows, explores place and revives memory, ensuring that the histories that matter do indeed become stories without end.
Download or read book The Singing Whakapapa written by CK Stead and published by Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited. This book was released on 1994-07-06 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Singing Whakpapa is a tale for our time - a compelling historical detective story in which the truth is stranger than any fiction, and in which the present becomes a backseat driver to the past. What is the truth of history, what are the facts - and how are we to know them? This powerful novel is the story of John Flatt - missionary agriculturalist, witness to Waharoa's war of the 1830s against the Arawa, to the murder of the young woman Tarore and to the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi - and his great-great-grandson Hugh Grady, who more than a hundred-and-fifty years later tried to make sense of his own life by exploring all that has gone before. It is a story laced with passion, betrayal and revenge, at many levels, as greed overtakes good intentions and the cloak of history is pulled aside. The Singing Whakapapa won the New Zealand Book Awards in 1995.
