Please join us to celebrate and bless this publication by Associate Professor Mānuka Hēnare. Based on his PhD thesis, this pukapuka presents a mana Māori history of the early–mid nineteenth century.
It is a history of ideas, some internal to Māori society and others external to Nu Tīreni, and a Māori response to them. It is a review of a sequence of events, from the beginning of the nineteenth century and culminating in the signing of a treaty in 1840 between Māori leaders and the British Crown. The focus is on the Māori response to the offer, which takes into account prior events as well as early–mid nineteenth-century Māori language texts, which contain a consistent set of ideas, aspirations, anxieties and intentions.
