About This Book

A settler's account describes the Poverty Bay district, its geography and early prosperous Māori society, then traces social decline as new influences weaken chiefs' authority. It recounts the spread of a militant religious movement, a high-profile murder of a missionary, rising hostilities between Māori factions and settlers, and government efforts to pacify the East Coast led by colonial authorities and allied chiefs. The narrative reviews military actions, deportations and prisoner treatment, considers causes and missed opportunities for prevention, and argues lessons to avert similar tragedies.
