  The Treaty of Waitangi - Case Studies - Waikato-Tainui   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Members of the Waikato Tainui iwi, in the public gallery of Parliament to witness the enactment of the Waikato Tainui land settlement.
A further legacy of the raupatu was that Waikato Māori refused to enlist in the New Zealand expeditionary forces during World War I. Consequently Waikato was the only Māori district to suffer conscription (compulsory enrolment).
Waikato also asserted that the offer of 1946 had been a fait accompli, and that given the circumstances of the time and the dire economic and social condition of their people they had felt they had to accept it.

Major battles were fought at Rangiriri on the Waikato River and at Orakau on the southern edge of the middle Waikato district, which was then occupied by British troops.
The Waikato campaign was the largest and most successful of the British military operations in the colony between 1845 and 1866.
Although one of the government's main aims was achieved - the Waikato was largely cleared of Maori for European settlement - the King movement itself was not vanquished.

 Tauranga Campaign - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tauranga Campaign took place in New Zealand, from January 21, 1864 to June 21 1864, during the Māori Wars.
This campaign started as a side show to the Invasion of the Waikato, where British Imperial Troops, on behalf of the New Zealand Colonial Government, were fighting a confederation of Māori tribes known as the King Movement.
The British commander, General Duncan Cameron, had just returned to Auckland where he was experiencing a lot of criticism from the Press and the Colonial government who saw the Waikato Campaign as a failure.

 Maori Wars
The Tauranga Campaign was the biggest of all the Maori Wars (politically correctly: The New Zealand Land Wars).
As the original conflict in Waikato ended, deemed an overall failure since the greatest objective was to decisively beat the Maori in battle (which didn't happen) and not just to conquer and annex territory, General Duncan Cameron received the request from Colonel Greer from reinforcements.
The final battle of the Tauranga Campaign was fought when Colonel Greer was patrolling with many men on June 21st 1864 and stumbled upon a force of about 500 Maori building a new Pa at Te Ranga.

 Invasion of Waikato - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Invasion of Waikato was an invasion during the New Zealand Wars fought in the North Island of New Zealand from July 1863 to April 1864 between the military forces of the Colonial Government and a federation of Māori tribes known as the King Movement (Kingitanga).
The Invasion of Waikato differed from the previous Māori Wars in that it was deliberately planned and initiated by the Pākehā.
As they were withdrawing from Paterangi one of the Waikato chiefs, Rewi Maniapoto, encountered a party of Ngāti Kahungunu and Tuhoe, about 170 men, who had come a long way to join in the war, all the way from the East Cape and the Urewera.

 The Taranaki Report - Kaupapa Tuatahi
Waikato reinforcements arrived seeking revenge, and the local hapu who had not been engaged at Mahoetahi continued to harass the army while constructing further pa. At the end of December, Pratt took the field once more, carefully advancing by sap before assaulting strongly defended pa at Kairau and Huirangi on the northern approaches to Waitara.
In Waikato, it was seen as a direct challenge to the Kingitanga, along with various other measures aimed at military intervention, including the construction of the military road from south Auckland towards the King's inner border at Mangatawhiri.
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.

Waikato's trustworthy fly-half Hill was also given a 50/50 chance of taking part in the knock-out match, ever since feeling the effects of a serious knee injury out of the quarter-final victory over Southland last weekend.
However, Waikato have been a lot more consistant than their South Island rivals throughout the new competition, and have earned the rights to be given the role as tournament favourites.
For Waikato: This one is quite tough to call considering the key players we had in mind that could make a difference to the Waikato cause, might not play at all.

 RM Update Issue 3 - Farm Dairy Effluent Treatment in the Waikato Region
The size of the investment made by farmers in land-based systems in the Waikato, and the cost to farmers of altering the rules, suggest a need for greater understanding of the relationship between treatment systems and water quality before the rules are adjusted significantly.
From a policy viewpoint, the Waikato experience illustrates the magnitude of voluntary change that can be effected by the combination of a low-key economic instrument (in this case, making land-based treatment a permitted activity, saving the farmer consent application and annual fees) and a focused education campaign.
The Waikato experience also illustrates the importance of having an understanding of the relationship between the environmental outcomes sought, the behaviours that could be targeted to achieve those outcomes, and their costs, when developing policy.

Not only was last year's 11-59 win by Waikato a record margin between the two provinces, it was also their lowest point of a wretched campaign, and a stain Auckland will be keen to put aside.
Waikato have won five times at Eden Park in the NPC -- 1983, 1992, 1993, 1997 and 2003.

Waikato is known for its rich, fertile farmland, so it is not surprising that this region was the scene of significant battles during the Land Wars of the mid nineteenth century.
The story of the Land Wars in the Waikato is closely related to the King movement.
An outnumbered Maori force was attacked by 1500 British troops in one of the crucial battles of the Waikato campaign on 20 November 1863, with both sides suffering heavy casualties.

In recognition of his services during the campaign he was created CB in 1864 and awarded the rank of brevet colonel.
At the conclusion of the Waikato campaign Cameron praised Gamble, stating that the successful outcome of the operations was in large part due to 'his ability, zeal, and unceasing attention to his important duties'.

So it is gratifying to hear one member of the coalition cabinet, the Agriculture Minister Jim Sutton, come to the defense of field trials in Waikato of a human gene in sheep.
The sheep are designed to produce a protein in their milk that could be effective in the treatment of cystic fibrosis, emphysema and the like.
The subject lends itself readily to vivid, scaremongering imagery and, as always when science is at issue, a balanced view of the risk cannot be categorical enough for comfort.

After a stumble in Warren Gatland's first campaign, there has been a confidence in their play this time round which made them top qualifier for this weekend's quarter-finals.
Against Auckland, when Waikato squandered a 19-0 halftime lead to draw 22-all, a belt on the nose had Kahui on and off like a kitchen tap.
Sound judges beg to differ and a strong finish to this Waikato campaign would have Kahui not the longest of long shots for the end-of-year tour to Britain and France.

In the battle at Te Kakara in the same campaign, he was involved in the killing of Raparapa, of Ngati Tama, who was famed for his great strength.
He believed that Waikato wanted to end the fighting, but were afraid to give up their arms lest Tamihana and Tawhiao, who had succeeded Te Wherowhero as King, be executed.

Waikato University professor David Hamilton, who is heading the research into Rotorua's sick lakes, was cited as telling the Herald that Waikato lakes were in a much worse state than those in Rotorua.
The obvious answer - few Waikato lakes are on a well-trodden tourist trail - raises important questions for those with a duty of care for the environment - regional councils, and Government departments.
PETA campaign coordinator Matt Rice was cited as saying its decision was a stunt, adding, "The wool industry prefers to lurk in the shadows and keep their consumers in the dark about their cruel practices."

 MAORI WARS - THE CAMPAIGNS - 1966 Encyclopaedia of New Zealand
Gore Browne and General Sir Duncan Cameron, the newly arrived commander, considered invading the Waikato, but had to realise that they lacked sufficient troops for the task and that the lives of all the South Auckland settlers would be imperilled.
To justify this offensive, it was asserted that the Waikatos were on the point of attacking Auckland, but in fact the colonial Government was again, as in 1860, taking the initiative to extend its authority over Maoris hitherto outside the effective reach of the law.
General Cameron objected to this move, which he said was “bringing war into [a] hitherto quiet settlement” merely to gratify the colonists' lust for land, and did his best to defeat their purpose by go-slow tactics which earned for him the title of “the lame seagull”.

Though the King Movement and Waikato resistance continued, the brown royals fled from the capital at Ngaruawahia, finally into the King Country.
