Te akaaka rauwhero : te rākau matarua a tū-mata-uenga

McGarvey, Haturini,

The British Crown inflicted land wars in 1845 – 1872 upon Māori were a series of conflicts leaving Māori landless and victims to genocide. The British Crown likened by the people of Tūhoe, as a bull who uncontrollably devours the land and destroys anything within its path has profoundly influenced the course and direction of our nation’s shared history. Descendant of Tūhoe, Associate-Professor at Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi Dr Haturini McGarvey tells a counter-colonial story about these historic conflicts commemorated from 2013-2021 throughout Aotearoa as part of the newly established national land wars commemoration; Te Pūtake o te Riri. Written entirely in Te Reo Māori specifically in the unique language mostly understood by kairākau (Māori warriors) and descendants of those who fought in these land wars, Te Akaaka Rauwhero provides a collection of all the sacred origins, karakia, tikanga, kawa, haka, and puha whakaaraara used from throughout 2013-2021. Te Akaaka Rauwhero! Pūātakataka! Pūāwhiowhio! Kia mau te ara aka ki tua!
