Overview

Excerpt from The Stirring Times of Te Rauparaha, Chief of the Ngatitoa: Also, the Sacking of Kaiapohia There is no point, says White, on which a New Zealander's indignation can be more effectually roused than by disputing his title to land. This love for his land is not, as many would suppose, the love of a child for his toys the title of a New Zealander to his land is connected with many and powerful associations in his mind. He is not, of course, what we call a civilized man; but in dealing with him we deal with a man of powerful intellect, whose mind can think and reason as logically on any subject with which he is acquainted, as his more favoured European brethren, and whose love for the homes of his fathers is associated with the deeds of their bravery, with the feats of his boyhood, and the long rest of his ancestors for generations.
