An Unsettled History
Treaty Claims in New Zealand Today

Encircled Lands
Te Urewera, 1820-1921
Judith Binney
$89.99
In 1896 the Ureweras became the only legally recognised tribal enclave in Aotearoa New Zealand. After it was abolished in 1921-22, its existence, its history and even the name of Rohe Potae as used for the Urewera
became largely forgotten – except in local memory.
Encircled Lands recovers this lost history.
This account of a region in transformation makes a significant contribution to New Zealand history – pertinent today as the Waitangi Tribunal’s Hauraki report on the iwi’s loss of land in the nineteenth century is released. Paul Monin’s exhaustive research documents the story in impressive detail, making a painful history accessible to all kinds of New Zealanders. This award-winning history was first published in 2001 as This Is My Place: Hauraki Contested, 1769–1875.

Histories, Power and Loss is a book about what people do when they produce histories about the past. Lawyers, political philosophers, and historians write here of legal claims and constitutional doubt; they tell particular stories; they document some of the Treaty claims process, and debate its consequences.

Ngāi Tahu
A Migration History
Te Maire Tau (ed), Atholl Anderson (ed)
$69.99
Te Maire Tau writes: ‘I first came across the Carrington typescript in 1987 when, as an under-graduate, I was researching our tribe’s history in the Alexander Turnbull Library. Reading the text, I was captured for the rest of the day. Besides the exhilaration that historians always feel on coming across an old and little known manuscript, the story that Carrington told read differently from the standard histories of Ngāi Tahu written by nineteenth-century scholars…’
