Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the second half of the nineteenth century, settlers poured into Aotearoademanding land. Millions of acres were acquired by the government or directly bysettlers; or confiscated after the Land Wars.By 1891, when the Liberal government came to power, M?ori retained only afraction of their lands. And still the losses continued. For rangatira such as JamesCarroll, Wiremu Pere, P?ora T?haere, Te Keepa Te Rangihiwinui, and many others,the challenges were innumerable. To stop further land loss, some rangatira sawparliamentary process as the mechanism; others pursued political independence.For over two decades, M?ori men and women of outstanding ability fought hard toprotect their people and their land. How those rangatira fared, and how they shouldbe remembered, is the story of M?ori political struggle during the Liberal era.
