SHADOW OF THE LAND
By Ian Wards

422 p. 1968. $9
The title for this book was provided by Nopera Panakarero,
a Kaitaia chief of much influence, who, in May 1840, believed
that only the “shadow of the land” had gone to Queen
Victoria whilst the substance remained with the Maoris.
Less than a year later he revised this opinion convinced that
only the “shadow” would be the Maori portion.

The author examines the British acquisition of New
Zealand, the Maoris, trust in the Treaty of Waitangi, and
their confidence that its terms would be honoured and
explains it was only by accident that the Maoris were
guaranteed the possession of their lands and ancient privi-
leges.

It is under these circumstances that the book considers
the use of military force in New Zealand, analyses the arguments
surrounding the provision of troops and concludes that,
beyond any reasonable doubt that there was never an attempt
to govern by “moral suasion”.

New Zealand followed the normal nineteenth century
British pattern of territorial acquisition.

The book is an essential introduction to the Maori wars
of a later date.
