About this title

Synopsis

A gripping account of Māori resistance and negotiation in 19th-century New Zealand. After the battle of Orakau in 1864, King Tāwhiao and his followers retreated to the Rohe Pōtae, establishing an independent Māori territory. Dancing with the King tells the story of this unique kingdom and the complex negotiations between Māori and the Crown.

Michael Belgrave explores the rise and fall of the King Country, detailing the key figures, events, and cultural clashes that shaped this tumultuous period. Discover the challenges of maintaining Māori sovereignty in the face of colonial expansion, and the enduring legacy of the Kingitanga movement. This is a vital contribution to New Zealand history, offering new insights into Māori-Crown relations and the struggle for land and autonomy.

Perfect for historians, New Zealand history enthusiasts, and anyone interested in indigenous studies.
