	Titokowaru's War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Titokowaru's War is a conflict that took place in the Taranaki Region of the North Island of New Zealand between Wanganui and Mount Taranaki from June 1868 to March 1869.
		Titokowaru, the chief of the Ngati Ruanui hapu or sub-tribe, declared 1867 to be a year of peace and reconciliation and this was largely successful.
		Titokowaru was not supported by the other Maori of the area and mustered only eighty fighters from his own hapu.

	Titokowaru (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Titokowaru was a leader of the Ngati Ruanui iwi in South Taranaki.
		Titokowaru escaped the colonial pursuit, and later became a leading figure for peace in his later years, reputedly selling grass seed to settlers for a tidy profit.
		Titokowaru's remarkable story lapsed into obscurity before being popularised by New Zealand historian James Belich in his works on the Maori wars.

		In June 1868 Titokowaru's forces destroyed a colonist blockhouse at Turuturumokai, inward of Hawera.
		Titokowaru then advanced south, and defeated a second colonial force at Moturoa.
		A message which he practiced with great tolerance as was noted by many settlers and authority figures of his time.

	The Taranaki Report - Kaupapa Tuatahi
		Titokowaru's onslaught on the settlements of south Taranaki was so successful that Whanganui was threatened and fears were held for settlers as far south as Wellington.
		Titokowaru, on the other hand, increased his strength with the addition of Pakakohi and Nga Rauru allies, and proceeded to harass settlers still in occupation of land south of the Waitotara River.
		With the forts, redoubts, and military camps of south Taranaki abandoned, the settlers in refuge at Whanganui, and 1000 Maori troops encamped in a pa nearby, and with the contemporaneous attacks from Te Kooti in Poverty Bay and the Bay of Plenty, the colony faced its darkest moment.

	DNZB / BIOGRAPHY
		Titokowaru was probably too young to have fought in the wars of the 1820s and 1830s, but these musket wars, and an engagement with British troops from the Alligator in 1834, began his military education.
		Titokowaru's private life is even harder to uncover than his public, but some hints remain among the caricatures of grim villain and grim hero.
		Titokowaru is arguably the best general New Zealand has ever produced, but his career as prophet, peacemaker, and leader of non-violent resistance was longer and at least as significant.

	Taranaki
		Following the withdrawal of the British troops Maori resistance continued, with Titokowaru leading an uprising which achieved some notable successes against the colonial forces in the south Taranaki region.
		Titokowaru advanced almost to Wanganui, defeating three colonial forces and causing much alarm amongst the settlers.
		Titokowaru's vigorous military response can be contrasted with Te Whiti o Rongomai's peaceful opposition centred in Parihaka.

		The Second Taranaki War is the name of a series of conflicts between the Maori and European settlers in the Taranaki province of New Zealand between 1864 and 1866.
		By a clever campaign of incitement and provocation Titokowaru created a situation where McDonnell had no choice but to attack the Pa. Pa, Maori word meaning a fortified village or redoubt, described at length in Maori Wars.
		Te Kootis War was one of the New Zealand Wars, the series of conflicts fought between 1845 and 1872 between the Maori and the colonizing British settlers, often referred to as Pakeha.

		Titokowaru's War is a conflict that took place in the Taranaki Region of the North island of New Zealand between Wanganui and Mt Taranaki from June 1868 and March 1869.
		If King Tawhio had chosen this moment to intervene, to join with Titokowaru and Te Kooti in a coordinated attack it was believed then that he could have driven the settlers out of all the confiscated Maori land; back to the main settlements and, conceivably, out of the North Island altogether.
		Te Kooti was besieged and defeated decisively at Ngatapa near Gisborne early in January 1869 which gave the colonial governemnt a bit of breathing space.

		Titokowaru was, said Bent, one-eyed from a battle wound and not tattooed; he had a deep, roaring voice when roused, and was often clad in a European suit and hat.
		Soon afterwards Titokowaru moved on to Moturoa, where another pa was built and defended against an attack by troops on 7 November 1868.
		Titokowaru continued his advance to the strategic position of Tauranga-ika, where Bent helped build another pa. Titokowaru's mana faded after he abandoned Tauranga-ika in February 1869; according to Bent because he had lost prestige with the other chiefs after a liaison with the wife of one of them.

	TITOKOWARU - 1966 Encyclopaedia of New Zealand
		A chief of Ngati Ruahine tribe of South Taranaki, Titokowaru was prominent as a prophet and priest.
		Titokowaru's boast was metaphorical, for he himself never ate human flesh as it impaired his personal sanctity, but in his “great, gruff voice” he encouraged his warriors to do so.
		Titokowaru's pa was Te Ngutu o te Manu, deep in the rata forest near Hawera.

		At the time, Titokowaru was well known to settlers, though he had given them little cause to think that, one day, he might lead a war of Maori against them.
		Titokowaru refused to hand over the Maori involved in the killings to the authorities.
		Titokowaru's war was substantially a war fought against the enforcement of these land confiscations.

	Titokowaru's Tauranga-Ika Pa
		Titokowaru used it to protect the territory he had already reconquered and as a base to launch raids against the Wanganui hinterland.
		Since their defeat by Titokowaru at Moturoa on 7 November 1868 the British in the Wanganui district had fled to the town and some to safer parts of the colony.
		Bent states categorically that Tauranga-Ika was "practically impregnable." Whitmore himself remarked after Titokowaru had abandoned the pa that "no troops in the world could have stormed the defences." With Kingite support likely Titokowaru could have made his temporary conquests of the confiscated regions of Taranaki permanent.

		On a lonely isolated redoubt, the closest New Zealand government outpost to Titokowaru’s stronghold of Te Nutu o te Manu, a sleepy quiet is observed.
		The Maori are also not told of what specific things they need to do to inspire a largescale revolt and an uprising against the pakeha — their mission is simply to cause death and mayhem for the pakeha at minimum cost to themselves.
		In effect, this disaster gained more followers for Titokowaru and signaled the beginning of a prolonged campaign in South Taranaki, with the Militia Colonel McDonnell swearing vengeance, ultimately leading to his ruin at Te Ngutu o te Manu.

		On the 25th, at the request of Te Whiti, Titokowaru's party performed a haka in the marae, all the Maoris meeting to witness it, and at the conclusion 68 pound was collected.
		On the 28th Titokowaru held the haka advertised, about fifty European being present, from whom a collection was made.

		Shadbolt, in telling the tale of Titokowaru and Whitmore through the eyes and experiences of American-born Imperial army defector Kimball Bent, is clearly positioned as the voice of a contemporary pakeha who similarly seeks to rewrite history in order to disturb the tellings.
		I think that Titokowaru’s understanding of the tree in the bird evokes the kind of understanding that Raymond Williams characterizes as that of a practical, rather than an aesthetic, engagement with landscape where the insider travels inlandscape rather than through landscape.
		Under the conditions of Titokowaru’s war, as grass unrelentingly redefines the edge of the forest, trench warfare emerges in the form of the pa in Wanganui and South Taranaki, and the forest becomes a Maori barricade and a weapon used against Europeans.

		A cavalry charge on a party of boys, all under 13, that killed eight was indicative of the growing excesses perpetrated by both sides and the developing climate of fear.

		As the ploughrnen were arrested, Titokowaru among the first, others took their place, until over 400 Taranaki ploughmen swelled the gaols of Dunedin, Lyttelton, Hokitika, and Mount Cook in Wellington.

	Scenario - Te Ngutu o te Manu 1868
		In truth, he had to do something - Titokowaru's mana was growing, and neither the government's men nor their allies the Whanganui were eager for another pan-tribal revolt like that of the Hau-Haus a couple of years before.
		In the second attempt, on 21 August they went straight up the main Pungarehu track, so as not to repeat their earlier mistake, and reached the huts themselves, albeit not without casualties from well-directed Maori sharpshooters who had mostly disappeared back into the forest by the time the troops reached the village.
		As it happened, Titokowaru did not need the child's warning to know the Pakeha was out there in the trees - the foolish gunshot sounds were warning enough.

		Originally Titokowaru's village, this was the site of two major engagements between Titokowaru and Armed Constabulary, from 21 August to 7 September 1868.
		The steady coolness of the rear guard in dense bush, in a position where the smallest mistake would have brought the enemy charging down upon them in overwhelming numbers, is deserving of the greatest admiration.
		Thus by this daring act of conspicuous bravery, he inspired new courage to his men who immediately rallied to his assistance and enabled him to hold the enemy until all the wounded were safely carried away.

		It was from Te Ngutu that Titokowaru sent forth the war party which attacked the pakeha redoubt at Turuturumokai in the wintry dawn hours of Sunday, 12 July 1868.
		At the start of the engagement, Titokowaru entrusted a kit containing some of his treasures to Kimble Bent, and sent him away from the pa to join the priest Te Waka-takerenui at a camp in the forest.
		Kimble Bent had plenty of adventure until Titokowaru finally lost his mana at Tauranga-ika, a strongly fortified post which was abandoned in February 1869.

		Smith, who was from a military family, sought a military solution to the problem, suggesting that the best course of action was to let the local Hauhau, whom he described as a very bad lot, know that the settlers were on the lookout.

		Straddling the Maori and European worlds of the late 1860s, Titokowaru was one of New Zealand's greatest leaders.
		Fate won in the end, of course-not at Okaiawa in 1888, when Titokowaru died, but at Tauranga Ika in 1869, when he was tempted and fell.
		His weakness cost Maoridom a real chance of limited victory in the New Zealand Wars and a return to the situation of 1860, when the two peoples were equal.
