About this listen

In 1898, a small band of Māori in New Zealand's remote Hokianga region took up arms against the Crown. Not over land, but over a tax on dogs. The Dog Tax War — or Te Pakanga o ngā Kurī — was a brief, almost comical conflict that nonetheless exposed deep grievances. Lucas and Luna explore how a seemingly trivial levy became a flashpoint for Maori sovereignty, the role of the prophet Rua Kenana's influence in the north, and the brutal aftermath for the ringleaders. They delve into the politics of the Maori Councils Act 1900, the impact of the Native Land Court, and the story of Hōne Heke Ngāpua, the politician who defused the crisis. A forgotten chapter in New Zealand's colonial history that reveals the quiet desperation of a people pushed to the edge.
