About this listen

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the origins and impact of the Māori King Movement (Kīngitanga) in 1850s New Zealand. They discuss how Waikato tribes, led by figures like Pōtatau Te Wherowhero and his son Tāwhiao, sought to unite iwi under a single sovereign to resist land sales and assert Māori authority. The conversation covers the election of Pōtatau as the first Māori King, the establishment of a parliament and laws at Ngāruawāhia, and the escalating tensions with the British Crown that led to the Invasion of the Waikato in 1863. Lucas explains the role of the Kīngitanga flag, the influence of Governor George Grey, and the eventual exile of Tāwhiao and his people. The episode highlights the movement's enduring legacy as a symbol of Māori unity and resistance.
