About this listen

Through the 1840s and 50s, Waikato Māori had been close allies of Pākehā settlers living in Auckland. So why did war break out between the two factions early in 1863? Over three episodes we investigate the origins of the largest, most significant war between Māori and the Crown - the Waikato War.

Emotional for me

Informative eye opener into how the kingitanga came about. It made me understand more about my elders and parents and their hurt and scars.
