 The New Zealand Wars   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
The war fought in South Taranaki between 1868 and 1869 is sometimes given a name like 'Titokowaru's War.' For example, in the 1920s, historian James Cowan called it 'Titokowaru's campaign'.
Following the earlier war in North Taranaki of 1860/61, the lands of Maori 'deemed to have been in armed rebellion against the Crown' were confiscated.
Titokowaru's war was substantially a war fought against the enforcement of these land confiscations.

 The New Zealand Wars   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
And, on the question of 'civil wars', some historians have recently suggested that the New Zealand Wars were really civil wars fought between a number of Maori tribes, with settlers and the Crown almost relegated to the role of bystanders.
The name was also used earlier by James Cowan, when he published his two volume narrative of war on the edges of empire in the early 1920s.
The reference is - Danny Keenan, "The 'New Zealand Wars' or 'Land Wars'?: The Case of the War in Taranaki, 1860-61" in The Journal of New Zealand Studies, October 2002, pp.99-108.

 nzepc - Murray Edmond - Psyche at the beginning of spring
Taylor precisely mines Black Jack's words from specific sources: Christianity, European technology, war and the new Maori religion of the mid 1860s, Pai Marire, which arose in Taranaki and was commonly known among Pakeha as 'Hauhau' (after 'hau' for 'wind' or 'breath', as in the inspirational wind of the angels Gabriel and Michael).
Perhaps he deserves the fate that has come to rest on him, that this propagandist for war in Taranaki is now best remembered for his 'unforgettable, distinctly impressionistic [painting] "Mt Egmont [Taranaki], from the southward"', which he painted on his first visit in 1840, and which has 'become in a sense a national icon'.(34)
The 'news' about the wars became subject of a television series in 1998, with historian Belich as frontperson, and the impact on the wide cross section of the population which television reaches was immediate — letters and faxes of outrage and delight from opposite sides.

 The Taranaki Report - Kaupapa Tuatahi
It is tempting to generalise matters to conclude that the war was a result of a desperate shortage of land for European settlement, as settlers were forever claiming.
The Natives were treated as rebels and war declared against them before they had engaged in rebellion of any kind, and in the circumstances they had no alternative but to fight in their own self-defence.

The First Taranaki War was but one incident in the 'small wars' which plagued New Zealand for the next 12 years, tearing at the roots of what integration had been established, and wrecking economic and political life for two decades.
The war was described as "guerilla", a term gaining acceptance in describing a limited war with irregular troops and marauding bands of Volunteers were depicted as a necessary expedient from Victoria, not replacing the Imperial soldiers who was expected to throw his body into battle to save an Empire.
It was one matter to go off to war for a cause, but it was another to leave wife and family on the charity of a community which had earlier been charged with the raising of troops.

 MATAKATEA, Wiremu Kingi, or Moki - 1966 Encyclopaedia of New Zealand
Matakatea was a high-born Taranaki war chief in pre-European times.
Although his forces were reinforced by eight whalers with four carronades, this victory was popularly attributed to Moki's own devastating accuracy with a rifle – hence he was always known as Matakatea – the “clear eyed”.
Matakatea did not wish war and did his utmost to avoid it, but when it was forced on him he besieged Iwikau's forces in the derelict Patoka pa near Wanganui, starved them, and then overwhelmed them with terrible slaughter, slaying the chief Tauteka in personal combat.
