Unsung heroes of Titokowaru's war Belich, James "Only three out of 150 first-year Victoria history students knew who Titokowaru was when asked earlier this year. Yet Titokowaru of Ngati Ruanui was the best military leader New Zealand has ever produced, according to the author of the New Zealand Wars, a history due out later this month which radically reinterprets the Anglo-Maori conflicts of the last century. In the first of three specially adapted extracts for The Dominion, James Belich recalls the Maori chief who never lost a battle against the British."
Urban Maori Claims-Fisheries Commission Walker, Ranginui The submission outlines the historical and social history of iwi as a political base, arguing that land alienation and other forces of colonisation destroyed, all but ideologically, the links for Maori with tribal resources. It outlines the emergence of urban Maori development and groupings as the meaningful and legitimate voice for Maori and goes on to outline the flawed nature of the Maori fisheries claim through the Sealords deal both as a global solution and in the division of benefits. A summary article for publication in Metro is also attached.
