Maori says the land I legally own as stolen from them. So I researched the history of the land and found that their claim that my land was stolen or that it's somehow stolen to be completely false. In short, the land I now own was sold by a Maori family in 1937 to a local school teacher, Thomas Thomson. The sale involved a 3 day court case in the Maori land court in Russell. In 1937 the entire community in Rawhiti turned up to support the sale. This book includes all the source documents so readers can decide the truth of the matter for themselves.
