Story: Kotahitanga – unity movements

This historical map shows tribal boundaries and areas that were confiscated from Māori during the 1860s. The blue boundaries were added in modern times to identify the main areas in which the confiscations took place. Smaller parcels of land outside the blue lines were also confiscated. The map notes that Waikato, the domain of the Kīngitanga (Māori King movement), had 1,217,437 acres (492,679 hectares) confiscated.
