The confronting truth of what happened in our recent past is something New Zealanders have to reckon with. When the Treaty of Waitangi was signed, Māori owned more than 66 million acres of land. By 1975, almost 97 per cent had been sold or taken.

The land wars of the 1860s saw the confiscation of half a million hectares in Waikato. People were driven from their homes. The second Māori king, Tāwhiao, and his followers became refugees in the King Country.

Find out more about what happened to Waikato-Tainui Raupatu, where you live, and how much the land was settled for - it may surprise.

Hi Neighbors,

Fran from Hamilton East

I'm on the lookout for a pair of hillcrest high boys shorts, 32/34 inch. Only four months of year left and he's in mufti next year, so not really worth buying new pair. Please txt me on 021566432, happy to give you something for them. Fran:)
