NZ Wars: Stories of Tainui is the third compelling chapter in RNZ’s award-winning documentary project on the New Zealand Wars.
The 1863 invasion of the Waikato was the defining conflict of New Zealand, reinforcing the Crown’s power, entrenching one of Aotearoa’s oldest political institutions (the Kiingitanga) and resulting in land confiscations that continue to shape New Zealand today.
Once again, Great Southern Television and Aotearoa Media Collective bring this important chapter of our nation’s story to life, teaming up with RNZ to create a digital documentary project that vividly illustrates how these battles looked, sounded and felt.
Presented by Mihingaarangi Forbes and featuring Dr Vincent O’Malley alongside esteemed iwi historians Rahui Papa, Brad Totorewa, Tom Roa, Mamae Takerei and Kawhia Muraahi, NZ Wars: Stories of Tainui examines the events that continue to influence contemporary Aotearoa.
Made with the support of NZ On Air.

As a Norwegian man living in New Zealand 17 years i know all about Maori culture and their ability to outsmart British with trenches on several occasions during battle. I know of VC recipient Ngarimu and Haane Manahi's courageous efforts in WW2. Or VC recipient Willy Apiata's bravery against heavy gunfire or the legendary feats of the 28th Maori battalion at the battle of 42nd Street. Please don't ever think all white people are ignorant to your contributions to both this country and the world because there's alot of us who see you, for you and never the statistic for which you are continuously judged by. Your contribution to the game of rugby is also over a century old with an impressive record over tier 1 teams. Let no one say your people never did anything worthy of praise because you have shown time and again that you punch above your weight. Just thought I'd say this looking from the outside in.
Finally something on RUclips created by my culture for me to learn from. Kiaora kiaora whanau...x
Much respect and lofas to Maori from 🇼🇸
Hats off to the Moari from Siksikaitsitapi (Blackfoot people)
You guys have respect from us from a Warrior People
We still have a lot to fix in this country. Maori never relinquished sovereignty. Tino rangatiratanga, ake ake ake!
Rangariri cemetery so shocking how my people are buried there with no acknowledgement but the soldiers have
I’m a Samoan born in New Zealand when I was growing up we were never taught this kind of history never learnt of the atrocities that the Maori people were put through or what New Zealand put Samoa through always sweeping shit under The carpet and trying to keep everything a secret but like they say everything thrown in the dark will one day come to light 💯 my alofa goes out to the real owners of the land the tangata whenua The Maori people never forget the oast
As a Samoan who now lives and call Aotearoa home. This documentary touched me deeply. I wish I was taught this in my history class. Rest in love to all souls who were lost and may they find true peace one day.
Alofa atu my polynesian family from Hamoa. Respect!.
I hate it when pakeha today say to me “ cmon bro it’s the past” like it didn’t kill all them innocent women and children , we need to bring this up on everyday tv so all kiwis today see and know the history of this land and the unjustified murder of its people (Maori) today nz is filled with immigrants from all over the world who have no idea about the history of this land and quite frankly a lot of them don’t care! So put this up on tv so they can see the cruelty this land witnessed, the blonde host of this documentary said it best! “We live with the consequences of that war to this very day”
This is not taught in the UK, a good kiwi friend put me into this and as a Brit I'm shocked.
Great to see this. A Tongan who appreciates this land and its people.
I am a pakeha I am from Onerahi I am only 42 years old and when you say that pakeha commemorate Anzac Day and such things you do not speak for me I am in agreeance with you the Maori in that it was wrong what happened and I am inspired by your courage and have never agreed with colonialism or whatever it is called
Ia ora na outou to te fenua Aotearoa , fenua Tupuna. Mauruuru maitai no teie tao o to tatou nei Hiroa tumu, maui'ui to'u nei mafatu i te hi'o atu te parau no ta tatou mau taune, tuahine, ta tatou mau tamari'i tai pohe.

This should be on TV1 or TV3 for all Kiwis to watch...Great insight Doco.Ka pai...Much aroha to our Tainui cuzzies.Kia kaha
Much love and aloha from Hawai’i.
As a Hawaiian/Tahitian guy, I respect the Maori for there fight against the British Empire.
As Maori from Tainui and Mgati Maniapoto but not having an in depth knowledge of my own past, this was a confronting yet informative doco. I would like to thank all involved in the making of this doco. You have helped me understand and connect with not only my stance of indigenous rights, but my family, culture and educated me a bit more to be able to pass onto future generations of my family. May the funding for things like this continue. Thank you. Arohamai
I suspect those in power of NZs government today hold the same sentiments as those who had invaded Aotearoa just over 100yrs ago.
I’m Australian but did my first 5 years of schooling in Auckland NZ . We were never taught this history. Thanks for the truth.
Much n Respect From Papua New Guinea.
From a Fijian who now calls Aotearoa home...im greatful for this series on the nz land wars. All non-Maori need to learn the true history of this country and not live in ignorance. I was so touched by this presentation 😭 and my heart goes out to all tangata whenua. I will teach my kids this history and not to be ignorant citizens of this beautiful country. Kia kaha to my Maori brothers and sisters...and thankyou for fighting for what is right...you are a great example to your indigenous whanau of Moana nui akiva. 🙏🌺
i am a Catalan, from a town near Barcelona. i have never been anywhere near Aotearoa, yet i am in love with this country and its people.
Watching this documentary brings me memories of how elders in our village used to tell us stories on how our ancestors here in the West of Fiji never agree to British rule or even Christianity. They fought many wars here in the Western Fiji highlands in return we were wacked with that Measles pandemic which almost kill us all...
I was born in Hamilton. I am indian and I use to be in the kapahaka at frankton primary school but we were always taught james cook discovered NZ and that was literally it. Never once was real history like this ever taught. I have been driving between Hamilton and Auckland all my life 100"s of times and only now do I truly know what happened in this stretch of land and the bloodshed it holds. I can never look at this route the same .
As 1/3rd African American I wish I knew my history. I am deeply searching.
This is the history than needs to be taught in our schools. WW2 and WW1 was shoved down our throats at school, why wasn’t our own history above a countrys oceans away. I’m saddened and disappointed I never had the opportunity to learn our Own history. I hope this changes in the future
The sad realitiy of NZ history with the effects still being felt today. Extremely annoying I didn't get to learn the true history of NZ in school, heres hoping they make the new NZ curriculum better than it was when I was at school.
This was sad but an enlightening watch.
I will forever be proud to be maori , and nothing anyone can do will change that .
this hits deep , honestly thats why i respect maori people regardless, the land, sea, culture and everything that surrounds this beautiful Aotearoa, as a Cook island i thank you so much for letting me live on this land and being mindful of what i actually ground my feet on💜
Daamn face tattoos with a brawler hat is swaggy not gonna lie 🔥
King Wherowhero was right: Maori can never be destroyed because they come from the "Deep of the Well"
This is why the colonizers of nz will never have respect from us Maori, so much important history swept under the rug by NZ govt itself, they robbed us of our history....
This is really well made. Great way to learn history.
This angers even the new generation of young Māori to this day! They don’t teach this in school why not? Because the truth is ugly! And the gilt stains the history of this land for what the pakeha did to all indigenous peoples not only here but all over the world.
I am weeping with so much mamae for my people, especially our wahine and our tamariki of this time.
God bless the all the New Zealanders who died in that war and god bless you for making these documentary 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Ataahua 🙏
Kia whakatōmuri te haere whakamua ('I walk backwards into the future with my eyes fixed on my past') - the past present and future are intertwined, we carry it with us.
Whakapono Tumanako me te Aroha tangata whenua✌️
Respect to Maori Culture from TongaHa'amoa 🙏
I am of Dutch decent born in NZ. Tainui are amongst those loving people who gave me so much love and care sharing their rich and honourable culture and language with me. when I called "Koro" I was his mokopuna.
. Kei te mihi.
Profoundly sad watching this - respect.
As a direct descendant of Irish blood from the first convicts of Port Arthur..the British Emperor still have a lot to answer for. This documentary made my stomach churn with anger at the British and mourn for your people.
Kia Ora from across the ditch. 🙏💜💪🌏✅🇭🇲🇳🇿
Watching true I was very sad bat am from Vanuatu 🇻🇺 nz 😢moarii u a the people of this land I respect u all and naw the bas has gone we a going on let's be together ❤ love nz
This is amazing, we need a full on movie :)
Heart touching i was told all these stories as a young boy! Good to see them being told to everyone🙂
Wow... what a documentary. I’m samoan who was born and raised in NZ and never knew any of this.. I got goosebumps. The Maori troops were warriors!! We need more Documentaries like this! Smh. The whites just taking everything! How have they not been punished for all the war atrocities they’ve committed ffs.
War never ends. Ka whawhai tonu matau.
This needs to be a movie or a series
What an eye-opening and sobering documentary, brilliantly executed. Bravo! As an Australian, I can only dream of the day when the stories of the colonial invasion and dispossession of Aboriginals are portrayed in a similar way. We're still way behind in coming to terms with our own dark history and how that affects Aboriginal people, and in fact our whole society, today.
I’m English, but lived in NZ in the past. I learnt a lot about NZ, and what an amazing country and fantastic people live in it.
I’m 100% embarrassed about the British empire’s past, not just in NZ, but all around the world. Sorry NZ.
can we please see more about Maori History, like stories of iwi and hapu, myths and legends. Would be awesome to see. Nga Mihi
Kia whakatōmuri te haere whakamua (I walk backwards into the future with my eyes fixed on the past). it is up to us to ensure unjust events like this will never happen again in Aotearoa. Dan, Ngati Taiwan
Holy shit I didn't know things were that ruthless 😳
I hope someone makes a documentary like this one but about Turanganui a kiwa
He Mamae
They never taught this at school, Why?
They knew when they first came to Aotearoa what they were looking for, truth be told Britain is a small country and the English language is a minor language compared to the like or Chinese or Spanish etc.. Even Lieutenant James Cook ( because he wasnt actually a captain at the time of discovery ) mentioned it in his journal that he thought the Maori were very intelligent for a warrior race of color.
If Jacinda could do anything right it would be to apologize to all of the Maori of NZ for what the British did.
I was present at the pitiful excuse of an apology from the British Government in Gisborne ( The first place Lt. Cook discovered when they found NZ), it should have been done that day but they never will close the book on this issue. Just deny the people forever.
You will never be forgotten. God bless my Maori people for we are the people of the land Amene
The biggest tragedy is the true magnificent history of our country is NOT taught at school?
Surrender is not an option such powerful words
This is eye opening. I shed tears. I now understand. Greatest respect.
As a teacher, I am honored to share and teach these truthful stories of what happened to our people.
Balling my eyes out right now 😭😭😭 can feel the mamae (pain) I can only imagine Mahinerangi forbes crying alot throughout making this documentary 😢 💔 ka arohanui whanau. ❤💙
At 25 mark it is poignant for Maori that were buried unnamed and forgotten for decades. You can feel that lose.
Good documentary but very one sided, guess it’s sign of the times. What happened was wrong but there were atrocities on both sides. Maori tribes we’re seldom at peace. There was a lot of war, genocide and slavery between Māori. Hongi Hika killed more Māori men woman and children than all the European land wars in history put together. It’s was in the thousands. Humans with power can all be tyrants regardless of their race.
So greatfull for this as Auckland was my old stomping grounds city/south . For 25 years I knew little about my ancestors , Till i moved to Australia were I found more about my culture proud to be Moari NGA POI . NORTH ISLAND will always be home wish i had spent more time learning the history /culture . When i was there learnt to respect my Alders / Ancestors and cultural ways of living off the land with respect for it .Continue to miss all the elements of NEW ZEALAND 👃😘🤗 .Thank you for the in lightning history RNZ KEA KAHA E MOARI ORA ,AMENIA
We fear no man if he bleeds too!!! WAIKATO TE AWA HE PIKO HE TANIWHA!!! Straight from Enderley poverty corner
This is such a powerful documentary.
I have goosebumps and tears. So painful to see the rich Maori heritage being destroyed.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating this and sharing it on a free online platform so that everyone can know how Maori’s have suffered. And feel at-least 1% of the pain in the heart of today’s indigenous people.
Todays polished and happy NZ doesn’t seem happy anymore.
awesome Documentary..insightful and emotional and educational..Good work RNZ !! and Will always wait for this kind of Documentary. !!
Ngā mihi tino nui Radio Nz and Mihingarangi Forbes, absolutely loved the Taranaki land wars coverage and now this one in the Waikato 😁
These videos are absolutely fascinating.
What I earlier thought about the land war period has been completely changed.
How wrong we were.
I am so sorry.
Lest We Forget 🇳🇿🇳🇿
So many lives lost, men,woman and children because of no fault of there own but another country who thought they had the rights to murder innocent people for there own ill gotten gains. War is pure murder, the poor men who were ordered to carry out this horrible carnage were put on a spot Kill or be Killed and the poor Moari did not stand a chance against the weapons that confronted them. Just so sad. It was the same with our indigenous Australians.
When I went to Rangiriri you just feel the pain and sorrow.
as a student in highschool i watched this video like 20 times.
Outstanding portrayal of history, sobering and enlightening, don’t ever forget the past that cannot be changed but don’t hold current New Zealanders for the sins of the past, draw courage and experiences from the past and continue to move to a harmonious future.
It never ends really, the consequence of stealing other peoples countries, ours was the first, I am Irish. but you can see that plenty of Irish and Scots served the Empire in the wars against the Maori, hard to watch. I live in Canada, my grandchildren are part Ojibwe, Cree, and French ancestry which makes me happy for their future in this land.
Makes me solemnly think about my heritage, being brought up with strong ties to areas and people of Maori culture of which I hold huge respect.
Great documentary. Rare to see documentary about NZ
There's plenty around bro - check out the NZ Wars series by James Belich or the extended interviews connected to this RNZ doco here - ruclips.net/video/pJkXj2eYq1Q/видео.html
We will never give up
Who's the female interviewer? Well done!!!
So sad - colonialism and invasion. Thank God that the Maori culture survived and lives on - don't let this precious history die. Great video.
I like to see history explained from the losers or victims, because (in my opinion) you know it is the truth.
I can’t see anywhere in the world where the British invaders have done anything less than colonialism for their own benefit.
Any history written by them the British is questionable to say the least.
From a Aussie.
He mamae alright.😥
Hard to see, i was born an raised in nz. I always new there was war" but spose forgot bout it. Shame is men will always fight over land n still do. Mouri pakeha chinese. Always its sad.
My heart is breaking and I’m only a quarter of the way through it. And this is only Waikato...
Mean ill show my dad his iwi waikato tainui that was awesome to watch
Big praise to this Tainui princess 🌹 Mihi Forbes🌹, your a true Taonga,for sharing our historical battles of our ancestors all over Aotearoa. Much love from a proud Native.
Proud to be Maori, Much Aroha for Aotearoa and My Tipuna Who ensured We Would to be treated Like Other indigenous Cultures Who Got Walked Over With No Resistance and No Treaty.

as a 6th generation new zealand pakeha. i want to say sorry on behalf of my family. thankfully my ancestor was living with an iwi in taranaki at that time, a deserter of the british army. but still very sorry
So good to be educated in our true history, Thankyou .I was married at Saint Paul’s in March 1970.Have always felt very connected.
Very Well Made and Presented Doco, the CGI Really Helps Visualise the Land Scape and Pa Sites and How Genius they Were Built.
Te mamae o oku tupuna I whawhai I tū mo au me toku whanau e tangi , e Moe .
Who originally built the fort. It was already there.... That's how the chief knew how to steal the flag
He used old Tunnels.
