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.

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.

  • ISBN : 022616215X
  • Pages : 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.

  • Author : Claudia Orange
  • Publisher : Bridget Williams Books
  • Release : 2015-12-21
  • ISBN : 1877242489
  • Pages : 1009 pages

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.

Book The Singing Whakapapa

    Book Details:
  • Author : CK Stead
  • Publisher : Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited
  • Release : 1994-07-06
  • ISBN : 1743487258
  • Pages : 300 pages

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 300 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.

Book Voices from the New Zealand Wars   He Reo n   ng   Pakanga o Aotearoa

Download or read book Voices from the New Zealand Wars He Reo n ng Pakanga o Aotearoa written by Vincent O'Malley and published by Bridget Williams Books. This book was released on 2021-11-15 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to our story, this history. Wherever in the world the bones of your ancestors lie, wherever their ashes may have been dispersed, here you will find traces of them, and of yourself....It is, of course, a story of colonisation and resistance – and a history that has never stopped repeating. Arama Rata The New Zealand Wars of the mid-nineteenth century profoundly shaped the course and direction of our nation's history. This book takes us to the heart of these conflicts with a series of first-hand accounts from Māori and Pākehā who either fought in or witnessed the wars that ravaged New Zealand between 1845 and 1872. From Heni Te Kiri Karamu's narrative of her remarkable exploits as a wahine toa, through to accounts from the field by British soldiers and powerful reports by observers on both sides, we learn about the wars at a human level. The often fragmentary, sometimes hastily written accounts that make up Voices from the New Zealand Wars vividly evoke the extreme emotions – fear, horror, pity and courage – experienced during the most turbulent time in our country's history. Each account is expertly introduced and contextualised, so that the historical record speaks to us vividly through many voices.

Book Those Who Made a Difference

Book excerpt: Some people live a life that touch only a few, while others have an impact that reverberates throughout the world for decades and even centuries. Those Who Made a Difference features inspiring stories about extraordinary people. While there are plenty of villains who’ve had an impact, the author focuses on those who left the world a better place. The individuals highlighted include: Dwight L. Moody, who started an evangelism school that became so popular that even President Abraham Lincoln attended. His growing ministry became a church: Moody Church, which the author attended while on a business trip. Alexei A. Navalny, who has waged a courageous campaign to replace Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has done all he can to disgrace and hurt him. Ben Carson, who became the youngest chief of pediatric neurosurgery in the United States at age 33. He prayed before every operation and received more than sixty honorary doctorate degrees. The book features scores of others, too, such as William Farel, Mikhail Gorbachev, Norman Rockwell, Jan Hus, John Calvin, Gary Rose, Jimmy Doolittle, Mary K. Beard, and many others, showing how ordinary people with a purpose can—and will—make a difference.
