Te Ata o Tu - The Shadow of Tumatauenga (Hardcover)

The New Zealand Wars of 1845-72 were a series of bitter and bloody conflicts between Maori and Pakeha that extended from Wairau to the Bay of Islands, and from Taranaki to the East Cape. They are as important to New Zealand as the civil wars were to England and to the United States. Land and sovereignty were at their heart. This major book visits Te Papa's rich Matauranga Maori, History and Art collections to explore the material and visual culture, taonga and artefacts connected with key events and players associated with the Wars. The stories of its over 300 powerful objects - ranging from weapons and paintings to photographs and soldiers' letters - help us understand why the wars occurred and why their legacy continues to resonate. In addition, topical essays by leading Maori scholars and historians bring a depth of perspective and expertise.
