"WE SURVIVED ANNIHILATION"

‘I shall not fight against him with the sword, but I shall dig around him till he falls of his own accord"

Governor George Grey 1860

History

The Crown acted unjustly and in breach of the Treaty of Waitangi in its dealings with the Kiingitanga and Waikato in sending its military forces across the Mangataawhiri stream boundary line in July 1863 invading Waikato and confiscating 1.2 million acres of land. Waikato was labelled as REBELS by the Crown the impact of the invasion has caused intergenerational trauma, but we live on to tell our stories.
