À propos de ce contenu audio

In 1860, the Taranaki War erupted as Maori of the Taranaki region fought to defend their land against Crown encroachment. This episode focuses on the Battle of Waireka and the Siege of Puketakauere, where Maori warriors, armed with traditional weapons and captured rifles, repelled British forces. We explore the leadership of Te Āti Awa chief Wiremu Kīngi Te Rangitāke, who refused to sell land at Waitara, igniting conflict. The episode also examines the role of the Māori King movement in supporting Taranaki resistance, and the controversial confiscations that followed—a policy that devastated Maori communities and fuelled further wars. Through the lens of this specific conflict, we see how colonial land hunger, mana, and sovereignty collided, with lasting impacts on Aotearoa New Zealand.
