Articles on how the early residents in New Zealand witnessed the origins of the Colonial Land developers and their entry into the country, and how the British Parliament was placed into the position of putting a treaty into action. Contains also more than 20 articles that include an eye witness account of the treaty signing, the Maori and Pakeha treaty versions and articles by William Colenso, William and Henry Williams (all present at the time) and extracts of journeys made by W. Colenso into the interior.
Other articles cover topics such as cannibalism and utu, and touch on the origin of some of the land wars, as well as touching on the religious side of things, the nature of colonialism etc.
This site, which is found at www.waitangi.com is privately run and presents hopefully a very honest overview of the earlier New Zealand scene, and how it has developed into what is seen today.
