A must watch for all New Zealanders. Know the history, you may begin to understand and not prejudge. Remember, British Colonialism was been replicated all over their empire at these times.

[@BryceBrown1]

I delved into this local local history as an artist years ago, really be quite obsessed with it. One of my works was of Heni and Booth at Gate Pa. I also spent a day wandering around Te Ranga and painted a couple works on this area. Heni had an interesting life, to say the least. It's worth reading the book, Jane's Story, if you're interested. I think her great grandson wrote it.

News from the Rotorua Daily Post: "Child, 2, dies after Rotorua driveway accident, family member steals from doctor trying to save child's life." As hospital staff tried to save the life of a 2-year-old boy run over in a Rotorua driveway, a family member swiped a doctor's two phones and a bank card and went on a spending spree. The child died a short time later but Melissa Herewini (A MAORI) had already taken the bank card to four stores in Rotorua and bought alcohol, food, petrol, phone credit and cigarettes.

How is this at all bias? It shows the complex intersections between this event. Ko Te Arawa ahau, I am Te Arawa. My tupuna stood with colonial forces in this war. To be bias may be to paint us as having no accountability in this all. I know my tupuna stood with colonial forces out of fear of losing more land, however, as their descendants we stand in the dark history of our forebears. Now, look to the code of conduct, and the humanity shown within - It shows our humanness, and how even in the face of huge mamae, we are human, and we must treat each other as such. Regardless of the systemic inequity of the system, it shows how we must how Aroha, manaaki.

[@denismoresby1075]

It is said in this Documentary that there is little information on the Bush War follow up to the fighting at Gate Pa.....!. But there is a book written by Gilbert Mair who covered much of the fighting he writes in person giving day to day information on the Moari he led (on the side of the British) and the Kuhuhu Iwi force who were a Moari force Led by Moari fighting for their own reasons on the side of the British & why they did so is still under reported today,! Plus there were other British/colonial/Moari mixed forces acting as another group. Working with them hunting the likes of Te Kooti. Much of the book is devoted to fights with Te Kooti and those who joined him after the fighting in Wakato & Tauranga. The value of this book comes in first hand comments for Mair on what each Iwi were doing at the time. It covers things like Rewi Maniapoto comming to assess what was happening in person. Predicting the way things would go & successfully keeping the King County out of the fight with astute politics! Todays Politics have resulted in a more selected version of History that fails to record after Gate Pa most what happened & why from alternative views. Like the regular British troops got disbanned or sent elsewhere. This altered the Politics and some clever Moari leaders did a lot of good for their people by understanding that. Rotorua Moari friends requested I gave my copy Mair to them as they wished Te Arura Iwi to have a copy be kept safe. Which I did! If someone with a current copy should like to republish it I think it would cover the BIG gap in what was reported here & be of wide interest in NZ Things like view s of Moari who did not fight for either side. Mairs coments on Moari/European mixed married people which was wide spread even at that time. Many of the people killed by Te Kooti force when he returned to the North Island were of mixed race. It was of some interest that Gilbert Mair who ruthlessly hunted for Te Kooti seems to think Te Kooti was not guilty of the crimes he was deported for! He writes that he believes Te Kooti was a bit too free & wild with other mens wives & some petty crime in his own Moari community! So that many of his people own people were saying deport him too that British where happy frame him as terrorist to keep the peace! My family is European NZ & Moari. Their personal accounts are of mutual benifits as well as wars!

The best part of this history is the chivalry shown by the Maori, their courage and determination to hold off the invaders (as any patriot would and should do). The worst part, it still seeks to divide what is supposed to be a united country by ingraining the victim mentality into the minds of minorities. Many people of various ethnicities, race and creeds have since immigrated (most with less than what the natural born New Zealanders have) to New Zealand and have made prosperous lives for themselves and their families.

@@observedot7490 News from the Rotorua Daily Post: "Child, 2, dies after Rotorua driveway accident, family member steals from doctor trying to save child's life." As hospital staff tried to save the life of a 2-year-old boy run over in a Rotorua driveway, a family member swiped a doctor's two phones and a bank card and went on a spending spree. The child died a short time later but Melissa Herewini (A MAORI) had already taken the bank card to four stores in Rotorua and bought alcohol, food, petrol, phone credit and cigarettes.

Myself.. Hori, even I can see this is not even half truths & is only one side of a story.. You should be ashamed, know you will be judged in the afterlife for divided a nation based upon race... as in, to be born upon this land NZ is to be called a Kiwi & Kiwi are iwi.. End of story.

Doesn't mean we just forget about it for so long the white man's side has been told its only recently the maori side of this history is being shared in this sort of way I think its a good thing yeah the battle scenes are abit one sided that's probably the only problem I see tho

[@jamescook4140]

Maori women would give water to dying British soldiers not out of compassion...they were sent to take any ammunition or weapons clothes off the dying soldiers..very cunning, can we not change history but just speak the truth ?

Maoris committed genocide on others.

[@reiolite2354]

Not all iwi. Only 1 iwi went to the Solomons. Compared to all the genocide in Africa, India America nth South, Vietnam, Syria. Fuuu that's millions.& still repression goes on today.
