Te Ata o Tu: The Shadow of Tumatauenga

The New Zealand Wars of 1845-72 were a series of bitter and bloody conflicts between Māori and Pakeha that extended from Wairau to the Bay of Islands, and from Taranaki to the East Cape. This major book visits Te Papa's rich Matauranga Māori, History and Art collections to explore the material and visual culture, taonga and artefacts connected with key events and players associated with the Wars.
