Vincent O’Malley: The New Zealand Wars

Word Christchurch Festival

31 August 2019 | WORD Christchurch Shifting Points of View The New Zealand Wars profoundly shaped the course and direction of our nation’s history. Fought between the Crown and various groups of Māori between 1845 and 1872, remnants and reminders from these conflicts and their aftermath can be found all over the country. The wars are an integral part of the New Zealand story but we have not always cared to remember or acknowledge them. Vincent O’Malley will deliver a lecture related to his latest book on the causes, events and consequences of the New Zealand Wars (Ngā Pakanga o Aotearoa). Supported by Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu
