Wiremu Pere (Wi Pere) lived from 1837 to 1915, leading his tribes
of Rongowhakaata and Te Aitanga a Mahaki through some of the most
turbulent chapters of New Zealand history. He stood resolute
against colonialism and entered parliament to stand up for his East
Coast people, yet was astute in his business dealings and was
compromised in the views of many Pakeha and Maori. This handsome
book, illustrated with numerous photographs, whakapapa and maps,
sets out the many sides Wi Pere's life and times with a particular
focus on his family life, parliamentary career and contributions to
the East Coast.
-- Hobart M. Van Deusen, "Natural History"
