I've just listened to these 3 episodes with great interest, ending in pure horror, distress and revulsion 🫣😠😬 My tūpuna were on Mokoia during this attack, and my tupuna kuia was one of those taken up north by Hongi's ope. Thankfully she returned after many years away, settled back here at Maketū and was eventually buried with her father, who was one of the chiefs, on Mokoia. We've never known what happened to her in Northland, but this episode gives us an idea of what may have been a very nasty fate. I hope she was treated well as a woman of status, and not a slave. I feel very sad pondering this 😥 Moe mai rā, e kui 🙏

Thanks so much for this little series..so fascinating!!! I would LOVE to hear more about this 🙏🙏🙏

CAN WE GET A W IN THE CHAT FOR KIWI CODGER 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

KIWI CODGER ON TOP 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

nah you forgot to mention the part where Nga Puhi had actually attacked the wrong people... why do you think Whakatane and Opotiki tribes were freaking out so bad when they had finished this campaign and were sailing back north? because they were actually after NGAI TE RANGI/NGATI RANGIWEWEHI..... thats why people are so hurt and bitter about it... get your story right.

Thank you so much for unveiling these moments in history. I grew up in Point England/Glen Innes & have been to Tahuna Torea multiple times. It is amazing to hear these accounts from a time that is not that long ago really.

I said WOW a few times while listening to this, I have hunted these hills many times including Kotepato, Nikau, Manganuku, Te Waiiti, Koranga forks there's some very Knarly country in there if beautiful, the valley above the Kotepatu would be a great hiding spot too Its entrance is very hidden but once you climb a small gulley it opens into a broad valley and was always my favourite hunt for days of dubious weather. I have met some local characters in there hunting on horseback man those horses can climb hills with a man on their back I can barely crawl up. I have always wondered at that river flat on the Redpaths farm it always looked ideal to me as a settlement and felt people must have lived there now I know even if they were not there long :) I also have some whanau connections to Omaramutu Marae will definitely have so many more questions when I next visit. I am buying the book and am so grateful for both your work.

A bit disappointing to hear of the brutal treatment of Maori women by the men . Was this common to all tribes?

Found You Today And Your Videos Of My Family History, Lots Of Information To Be Found Of Hongi, Not A Lot Tho Of His Daughter Pehi, Later Taking The Name Maraea Then Maria, Married Stephen Wrathall.

Māori never migrated they simply journeyed returned home..

The Stream you refer to is not the original Mataharehare as agreed to by Te kawau The original came out at St Georges Bay, and not Hobson Bay You can see theis in the Maps of 1840 But in later 1841-42 iterations, they shifted the boundary. George Clarke was well aware of this as Te Kawau mentioned he had not sold that land and his nephew Tūhaere petitioned successive Governors with no reward. A classic land acquisition tactic of those times.

Watched about ten episodes now, fantastic and thorough stuff Kiwicodger! Really enjoying it and learning a lot too. thanks

These Nga puhi seem to quite a military force for such a tribe.

I wonder if this warrior gene is an evolutionary trait, it seems to not be in other Polynesians

I am te arawa 2 shah

Did Mataatua come from Tikehau?

Hongi is my ancestor. Thank you for teaching me so much of my history. Looking forward to the rest of the series

Thank you for your amazing work both of you. I am descended from Maori and pakeha mentioned in your work Kiwi Codger. And I can connect with so many of the stories you have shared.

OMG this is blowing my mind!!! Thank you so much for your kōrero with Jean Pierre 🙏🌟👏🌟🙏

Historical information Rawe!

Good to see this bit of history , i think te rauparaha said he was unhappy that muaupoko escaped

so when is live stream happening? or have i missed it

Fantastic presentation. Thank you for bringing this history back to us in this era to appreciate.

Such great discussion The honest recognition of how history is always n slanted to some degree! The horror of musket warfare driven by old customs (which may've had a differing slant pre muskets) creating a genocide of 1 tribe against another! without this genuine account the full effects of the destruction of at least HALF of Maori population can barely be comprehended. In todays history ...in Germany proper (just the actual german state) "only "@ 250000 jews disappeared from the total German population 80 millions = 1 jew to @ 500 citizens. in NZ 1840 it was ONE TO ONE! on top of moved tribal survivors, slave displacement , western bugs , (measles etc etc ) alcohol, tobacco, & class distinction let alone the existing Maori class system of the day ,this is a huge undiscussed subject! Finally things are NOT improved by "educated" folks (including x PM ) who cannot define a WOMAN & are driven by cancelling , hate speech, censorship , & undefined wokery. We SO need your honesty facts & wisdom.

Thank you a very well reasoned account! Kaikoura was certainly crushed somehow whether by battle or abandonment (possibly after Omihi defeat!) But one or possibly two canoes under construction in the Kaikoura bush were abandoned . I saw one @ 1959 but when I described its location to others who claimed to have seen it ...they described different area! . Last I heard it had a shelter over it.

So interesting, thank you, just visited Auckland now going to watch your vids and get caught up on the country! Love the way you present the information. Priceless stuff!

Most da fullas moaning bout da way dis fulla pronounces Maori words probably pronounce English words like dis aye ow g 🤦🤣

Tuhourangi is our hapu here in the village of whakarewarewa and i want to know who's this chief of Rotorua he speaks of because as far as i know there is no one we consider our chief..

Hi can you please do a video on Charles William Broughton interesting piece of New Zealands history that doesn't quite make sense and needs a historian/researcher perspective to find out what actually happened to him and why. Please 🙏

Kia ora matua. Im looking for you video about maori connection to rarotonga. The ru te rangi story can you hel me please

Genocide as bad or much worse as any seen in our lifetime internationally

What a sight this would have been to see, and tha Haka on the day, brutal times. Sort of dissapointing that there are houses built on the Battle SIte, got to be some bad mojo living on top of all that blood shed.

Kapai wetahi o na korero paike o na rangatira korero mo te rangatira te rauparaha

What an amazing recollection i am a direct descendant of henry snowden ururoas son in law

Guys watch peter marshs documentary called skeletons under the carpet, it talks about ngati hotu and waitaha, i think it fits extremley well with these videos specifically if youre trying to figure out where each of our waka and iwi came from
