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.

Download or read book Hongi Hika and Hone Heke written by Preller Geldenhuys and published by . This book was released on 2018-10-16 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book Hone Heke written by Paul Moon and published by David Ling Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This biography is a captivating account of the life of the Nga Puhi warrior chief Hone Heke. It is set against a background of political turmoil and ethnic tension, and at almost every turn, the reader will be surprised at the remarkable events and circumstances that engulfed New Zealand in the mid 1840s. Most New Zealanders know little of Heke except that he was the man who chopped down the flagpole. Now, Moon's research has revealed far more about this warrior who at one stage seemed to hold the future of the colony in his hand. Moon has portrayed Heke in an honest light and has combined his qualities, strengths, weaknesses and vanities in such a way that he breathes life on every page.

Download or read book Cannibal Jack written by Trevor Bentley and published by Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited. This book was released on 2010-05-03 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a frontier society full of colourful characters in early nineteenth century New Zealand, Jacky Marmon, more commonly known as Cannibal Jack, was more colourful than most. Jumping ship off the New Zealand coast, he first lived among Ngäpuhi at the Bay of Islands, where he acquired five wives and served his chief as a trader and white priest. Joining Hongi Hika's great Musket Wars campaigns against the Tamaki and Kaipara tribes, he claimed to have served as Hika's personal war tohunga. He survived to settle in the Hokianga from 1823 and was involved in Hone Heke's Flagstaff War of 1845. In this biography of a wonderfully curious character, the author of the bestselling Pakeha Maori traces Marmon's life and times, drawing on his own knowledge and research as well as on Marmon's own – not always reliable – personal accounts.
Book Synopsis The Treaty of Waitangi by : Claudia Orange
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.

Sitting alongside her major works – including the 2010 Book of the Year, Encircled Lands – these essays explore sidepaths and previously unexamined histories. They notably delve into the lives of powerful early Māori figures, including the prophets Rua Kenana and Te Kooti, their wives and their descendants, and the leaders of the Urewera. Binney brings figures out of the shadows, explores place and revives memory, ensuring that the histories that matter do indeed become stories without end.
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 321 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.

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.

Book Synopsis Those Who Made a Difference by : Terry Bosgra
Download or read book Those Who Made a Difference written by Terry Bosgra and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2021 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
