  • Taranaki Wars: Waitara and One Family's Journey

    Taranaki Wars: Waitara and One Family's Journey
    Mar 18 2020
    Shots fired in Taranaki in 1860 sparked decades of conflict and the country's longest running war. The rapidly growing settler population is desperate for more land while local iwi are more reluctant to sell. In part three, we look at the New Zealand Company's dodgy deals and resulting battles, Ngāti Maru's fight to reclaim the land and one settler family's dreams as they arrive amidst the years of conflict.
