	First World War.com - Feature Articles - To what extent was New Zealand 'born as a nation' in World War I?
		A distinction can thus be made between the war being solely responsible for the 'birth' of the nation, and the war being part of a complicated process towards the nation state.
		Maori were in fact strongly divided in their desire to become citizens of the nation.
		The war was also an event that embraced New Zealand as a whole; from the soldiers who had fought and died on the battlefields, to those on the home front who were situated thousands of miles away.

	The New Zealand Wars (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Whenever the term ‘the New Zealand Wars’ is used, the Maori—settler conflicts that occurred between 1843 and 1872 are generally being referred to.
		Where the Wars are perceived to have been a part of a whole, then broad causes and overarching reasons for war are suggested.
		Many Maori believed that the Crown and settlers were acting in a manner contrary to the Treaty’s undertakings in pursuing war against them.

	The Maori Project
		Since the Maori lived south of the Equator, at around forty degrees south latitude, they were in need of some type of clothing to protect them from both the heat and the cold, due to their temperate climate.
		Wars were usually fought between tribes over land and property rights, since the land they used was not only for growing food and shelter, but it also was where a tribe buried their ancestors.
		The canoe, for example, is associated in the Maori culture with migration, fishing, ancestry (because their ancestors came from canoes), and as the means of transportation for the dead to travel to the after-life.

	Australians fighting New Zealanders. The Maori Wars
		Small regular colonial forces were first raised in Victoria in 1870, and in New South Wales in the following year, to fill the vacuum caused by the departure of the Royal Artillery which had been manning the coastal defences of New South Wales from 1856 and Victoria from 1861.
		The Maoris themselves, however, were still a long way from being defeated and continued white encroachment on their lands made a second conflict inevitable.
		The war was brought to an end in 1862 when Sir George Grey was recalled to calm the situation.

	Maori Wars
		The Maori Wars were a series of wars based on the subject of land.
		The Tauranga Campaign was the biggest of all the Maori Wars (politically correctly: The New Zealand Land Wars).
		A Maori Pa was the equivalent to a British fortress, but it took the British until after the first world war to understand the difference between a fortress and a Pa. A "Pa" meant a village, and therefore Pa's, though built for defensive strength, were primarily residential.

		The Battle of Puketakauere ranks with the Battle of Ohaeawai, First Maori War as one of the worst defeats suffered by the British troops in New Zealand.

		The original cause of the war, the sale of the Waitara Block was to be investigated, by now many of the British had their doubts about the legality of the sale.

		She is presented at both the first woman and as a goddess who is guardian of the land of the dead.
		Amongst the Maoris the planting and cultivating of the kumara (sweet potato) was accompanied by considerable ritual which culminated in the lifting of the crop by the priest when the appearance of the star called Whanui gave the signal for the harvest to begin.

	The Maori of New Zealand: Moko Masters
		Because the Maori tattooed the face, they had an unusual custom of removing and preserving the heads of their tattooed chiefs after death.
		The first dried head to be possessed by a European was acquired on January 20, 1770.
		The Rev. J.S. Wood says: "In the first place no man who was well tattooed was safe for an hour unless he was a great chief, for he might be at any time watched until he was off his guard and then knocked down and killed, and his head sold to the traders".

		To the Maori, it is known as te riri pakeha or “the white man’s anger.” This conflict lasted from 1864 to 1872 and was fought primarily by the Maori Hauhau warriors.
