The Aotearoa History Show New Zealand Wars (Part 2)
As British troops leave, settler militia enter the fray. Some Māori chose to fight alongside the Crown while others join new religious movements, which seem to promise a way out of the conflict. In part six, religious movements such as Pai Mārire & Ringatū arise to oppose settler expansion. While British troops withdraw, local militia take up the fight and we see atrocities committed by all sides. Topics covered: Te Ua Haumene and the rise of Pai Mārire Māori and Pākehā perceptions of Pai Mārire. The rise of Pai Mārire on the East Coast, including the execution of Carl Völkner. The wars on the East Coast and Taranaki involving Pai Mārire followers. The exile of Te Kooti, foundation of the Ringatū Church and his guerilla campaign in the North Island. Tītokowaru, his attempts at peace and his success as a war leader. The departure of British troops, increasing government reliance on settler militia and kūpapa Māori. Atrocities committed during the later years of the NZ Wars. Confiscation and the long-term effects of the NZ Wars.
The story of New Zealand and its people from its geological origins to modern day, hosted by William Ray, Māni Dunlop and Leigh-Marama McLachlan, with animation by Chris Maguren. [Radio New Zealand, 2019-2022]
