You mention confiscating 1.2 million acres, but it was only when I saw it on the 1869 Confiscation map (http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/zoomify/33583/confiscation-map-1869) that I appreciated how much it was. I then went on to read the history of one of the confiscated areas (https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/parliamentary/AJHR1904-I.2.2.5.1) and got some inkling of how devastating and unfair it must have been for many hapu.John Lawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08865829660938387398noreply@blogger.com
