What is the kingitanga about?

The Kingitanga or Maori King movement began in the 1850's as an effort to unite Maori tribes and resist the loss of land to pakeha (European) settlers and the New Zealand government. Monarchy was chosen as the model for this movement in an attempt to create an equal footing on which to deal with the British. Ngati Mahuta chief Potatau Te Wherowhero reluctantly agreed to become the figurehead of the movement and was installed as King at Ngaruawahia, Waikato in 1858. He would be followed as King by his son Tawhio after his death a few years later. The Pakeha saw the kingitanga as a threat and, even though Potatau and Tawhio were opposed to war, blamed the kingitanga for outbreaks of fighting in other parts of the North Island. In 1860 George grey and government troops invaded the Waikato by crossing the Autaki line instigating a war that would have a devastating effect on the Maori of the North Island. Millions of acres of Maori land would be confiscated.
