| Summary: | "The Treaty of Waitangi struck a bargain between two parties: the Crown and Māori. Its promises of security, however, were followed from 1845 to 1872 by a series of volatile and bloody conflicts commonly known as the New Zealand Wars. Many people today believe that these wars were fought solely between the Crown and Māori, when the reality is that Māori aligned with both sides - resulting in three participants with differing viewpoints ... Kūpapa addresses those realities, the complex Treaty-related reasons for them, and the cynical use of Māori by the Crown for its own purposes."--Publisher information. |
