This week I revive my “What I’m Reading” blog. I highlight an amazing text that forces us to dive into the complicated picture of customary land interests and the questionable progress of colonial settlement into the Rangitikei-Manawatū region in the late 1860s.

Text highlighted: Thomas C. Williams, The Manawatū Purchase Completed, or, the Treaty of Waitangi Broken (London, 1868). See: ENZB – 1868 – Williams, T. C. New Zealand, the Manawatu Purchase Completed (auckland.ac.nz)
