About

The Maori Wars, The New Zealand Wars, or, The outright theft of a country and destruction of a nation?

 

What happened?
Where is the truth?

 

History has always been under threat of revision and denial. Fortunately our earliest writings are still available to explain how a sociable indigenous people first welcomed newcomers then turned to outright, if defensive war.

 

In Personae old accounts of New Zealand are considered in an attractive form to encourage further examination into our sad and often forgotten past.
