He maha ngā whakaahua a te tohungatā a Charles Goldie e whakaatu ana i ngā kaumātua Māori e mahara ana mō ngā wā ki mua, me te whai whakaaro anō ki te oranga tonutanga o te iwi Māori. I te paunga o te rau tau 1800 tae atu ki te tīmatanga o te rau tau atu i 1900, he tokomaha ngā Pākehā i pōhēhē kei te mate ā-moa te Māori. Nā ngā whakaahua pēnei, i tāngia i te tau 1914, ka kaha ake te pōhēhē nei.
