Today is #RāMaumahara (our national day of remembrance of the #NZWars) so I visited the sites of the Battle of Ōrākau and attack on Rangiaowhia, driving past Nixon, Grey, Carey, Bryce, Whitaker and Whitmore Streets on my way.
If you want to visit, either in-person or virtually, I can recommend Te Ara Wai: Journeys

@essjax I find the grammar fail less less troubling than the historical insensitivity. Naming a restaurant chain in the Waikato after a symbol of #NZWars oppression shows not only ignorance of grammar, but also of #NZHistory.

Waikato War’s legacy endures 160 years on from the fighting

In his new book, The Invasion of Waikato/Te Riri ki Tainui, Vincent O’Malley says the war in Waikato was a defining moment that has shaped New Zealand for over a century, with consequences more profound than even the nation’s involvement in the two World Wars. #Indigenous #Māori #VincentOMalley #NZWars

I am looking forward to watching this (available from Monday 30 April). It is the history we pākehā in particular need to know and understand, especially we older ones. We are woefully, and at times, wilfully, ignorant of our history, especially the nature of colonisation, and the suffering and devastation it brought.

A survivor’s account of the torching of Rangiaowhia - E-Tangata

“For Kīngitanga supporters who had been urged to fight in a ‘civilised’ manner, the assault on Rangiaowhia was an almost incomprehensible act of treachery.” — New Zealand Wars historian Vincent O’Malley.

Today marks our last day of Waikato fieldwork for our
Marsden-funded
#NZWars project. As always, we pay our respects to the Rangatira before heading to Ōrākau one last time for this particular kaupapa 😭 So hard to say goodbye (or maybe just a quiet, mā te wā)
