In 2017 for the first time we will commemorate the New Zealand Wars of the 19th century. These civil wars rampaged up and down our country for several decades after the signing of the Treaty Of Waitangi. For too long too many of us have not known about the battles that were once fought in the places where we live and travel every day. The Māoriland Hub presents a unique series of Screen Lectures about the facts and aftermath of The New Zealand Wars. Screenings of the influential The New Zealand Wars television series (1998) will be followed by informal lectures and forums for public discussion. Acclaimed Māori historians, commentators, and Professor Belich will answer questions and present new research about the Wars and their influence on our society today.
