Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1845 and 1872, various groups of Maori were involved in a series of wars of resistance against British settlers. The Maori had a fierce and long-established warrior tradition and subduing them took a lengthy British Army commitment, only surpassed in the Victorian period by that on the North-West Frontier of India. Warfare had been endemic in pre-colonial New Zealand and Maori groups maintained fortified villages or pas. The small early British coastal settlements were tolerated, and in the 1820s a chief named Hongi Hika travelled to Britain with a missionary and returned laden with gifts. He promptly exchanged these for muskets, and began an aggressive 15-year expansion. By the 1860s many Maori had acquired firearms and had perfected their bush-warfare tactics. In the last phase of the wars a religious movement, Pai Maarire ('Hau Hau'), inspired remarkable guerrilla leaders such as Te Kooti Arikirangi to renewed resistance. This final phase saw a reduction in British Army forces. European victory was not total, but led to a negotiated peace that preserved some of the Maori people's territories and freedoms.

Book excerpt: The New Zeald Land Wars that rumbled on, breaking out sporadically, then dying down briefly before flaring up again - were wars of territorial possession. The protagonists were the incoming, - overwhelmingly British and significantly Scottish - settlers who arrived each week by the boatload - prompting one Maori to ask whether the whole British tribe is emigrating to New Zealand - and the indigenous Maoris, a Polynesian people divided into rival tribes. The wars - which were little more than colonial skirmishes rather than fully-fledged battles, with casualties numbered in the scores rather than ther thousands,- were prompted by the ever-mounting hunger for Maori land by the settlers. The vague and non-written terms of Masori land tenure often provided the excuse for European land grabs, and conflct resulted when the Maoris resisted by armed force. This large book salutes 150 soldiers and colonial officials who served in the Maori wars. It comes complete with a roll of volunteers ( usually settler volunteers) and members of the settler militia which eventually evolved into the New Zealand army. The book also lists holders of the New Zealand Medal awarded to those serving in the wars, and gives a nominal roll of those killed in action. Well illustrated with portaits of those honoured and colour plates. A rare volume of keen interest to all New Zealanders and to students of British imperial history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning the late 18th century to the present, this volume explores new directions in imperial and postcolonial histories of conciliation, performance, and conflict between European colonizers and Indigenous peoples in Australia and the Pacific Rim, including Aotearoa New Zealand, Hawaii and the Northwest Pacific Coast. It examines cultural "rituals" and objects; the re-enactments of various events and encounters of exchange, conciliation and diplomacy that occurred on colonial frontiers between non-Indigenous and Indigenous peoples; commemorations of historic events; and how the histories of colonial conflict and conciliation are politicized in nation-building and national identities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Zealand Cross There has been no comprehensive history of the award published in one place. Dr. Kieran explores the development of the creation and inauguration of the award, a listing of all the recipients and an outline of the New Zealand Wars from 1860 to 1872. The Victoria Cross and other decorations were being awarded to Imperial troops but the settlers in the Volunteers and Militia were not being recognised for carrying out similar acts of bravery. The recognition of acts worthy of the NZC were anticipated to become well known; however, the awards spand a period to 1910 and thus the impact of the bravery leading to an award of the NZC was not achieved. Personalities like King Tawhiao, Sir George Bowen, Sir George Grey, Lt. General Cameron, Te Kooti, Titokowaru, and Major General Whitmore were involved in the conflict. A major issue leading to battles arose due to land confiscation by the settlers. The battles were mainly restricted to the North Island; Taranaki and Wanganui on the West Coast, Waikato in the Central area and on the East Coast at, Gisborne, Napier, Tauranga, and the Urewera.
