It has been said the New Zealand Wars were more significant in shaping our country than Te Tiriti o Waitangi. This session explores whether that is true and digs deeper into a troubled time in our history. With sociology academic Joanna Kidman (Ngāti Maniapoto, Ngāti Raukawa), historians and authors Chris Pugsley and Vincent O’Malley, former director of the Waitangi Tribunal Buddy Mikaere (Ngāti Pūkenga, Ngāti Ranginui) and author of Patu, Gavin Bishop (Ngāti Pūkeko, Ngāti Awa, Ngāti Mahuta, Tainui), with Peter Biggs moderating.
This discussion was recorded at the Featherston Booktown Karukatea Festival in May 2024.
