Wars in the whitecloud : Wairau, 1843
M. H. McKinley (Author, Artist)
"Wairau, 1843. In a small clearing of land nestled within the Wairau valley, two peoples met; the settlers of Nelson and the governing tribe of that region - the renowned Ngāti-Toa. Whilst they marched, both sides were prepared for confrontation, yet they weren't expecting that their actions would drastically alter the future of the nation. Shaking both native Māori and settler populations alike, what occurred at Wairau made it clear throughout the Empire that not all was well within Britain's infant colony."--Back cover
