About this listen

In the dense forests of the Urewera Mountains, the Tūhoe people resisted colonization long after other iwi had been militarily defeated. This episode explores the Crown's campaign to open the 'District of the Urewera' to settlement through the Urewera District Native Reserve Act 1896, and the violent aftermath when Tūhoe refused to yield their ancestral lands. We follow the story of Rua Kēnana, the Māori prophet who established a separatist community at Maungapōhātua, and the armed police raid of 1916 that saw him arrested amid gunfire. We also discuss the 1894 'Urewera Commission' that sought to adjudicate land ownership, the 1916 Crown apology, and the long wait for justice until the 2014 Tūhoe settlement. This is a tale of legal manipulation, spiritual resistance, and the enduring mana of Tūhoe.
