Overview
An investigation into New Zealand’s nineteenth-century colonial conflicts, including their causes and repercussions.

It investigates how and why the wars came about, the conflicts themselves, and their subsequent impacts on Māori and New Zealand more generally up to the present day. It also looks at how the wars have been represented over time on screen, in writings, and in other art forms.
