Hostilities took place in the <a href="/wiki/North_Island" title="North Island">North Island</a> of New Zealand between the military forces of the <a href="/wiki/Colony_of_New_Zealand" title="Colony of New Zealand">colonial government</a> and a federation of <a href="/wiki/Iwi" title="Iwi">Māori tribes</a> known as the <a href="/wiki/M%C4%81ori_King_Movement" class="mw-redirect" title="Māori King Movement">Kingitanga Movement</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Belich-2">[2]</a> The <a href="/wiki/Waikato" title="Waikato">Waikato</a> is a territorial region with a northern boundary somewhat south of the present-day city of <a href="/wiki/Auckland" title="Auckland">Auckland</a>. The campaign lasted for nine months, from July 1863 to April 1864. The invasion was aimed at crushing Kingite power (which European settlers saw as a threat to colonial authority)<a href="#cite_note-king-3">[3]</a> and also at driving Waikato Māori from their territory in readiness for occupation and settlement by European colonists.<a href="#cite_note-dalton-4">[4]</a><a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a><a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a> The campaign was fought by a peak of about 14,000 <a href="/wiki/British_Army_during_the_Victorian_Era" title="British Army during the Victorian Era">Imperial</a> and colonial troops and about 4,000 Māori warriors drawn from more than half the major North Island tribal groups.<a href="#cite_note-Belich2-7">[7]</a> Plans for the invasion were drawn up at the close of the <a href="/wiki/First_Taranaki_War" title="First Taranaki War">First Taranaki War</a> in 1861 but the <a href="/wiki/Colonial_Office" title="Colonial Office">Colonial Office</a> and <a href="/wiki/New_Zealand_General_Assembly" class="mw-redirect" title="New Zealand General Assembly">New Zealand General Assembly</a> opposed action, and the incoming <a href="/wiki/Governor_of_New_Zealand" class="mw-redirect" title="Governor of New Zealand">Governor</a> Sir <a href="/wiki/George_Grey" title="George Grey">George Grey</a> (second term 1861–1868) suspended execution in December of that year. Grey reactivated the invasion plans in June 1863 amid mounting tension between Kingites and the colonial government and fears of a violent raid on <a href="/wiki/Auckland" title="Auckland">Auckland</a> by Kingite Māori. Grey used, as the trigger for the invasion, the Kingite rejection of his ultimatum on 9 July 1863 that all Māori living between Auckland and the Waikato take an oath of allegiance to <a href="/wiki/Queen_Victoria" title="Queen Victoria">Queen Victoria</a> or be expelled south of the <a href="/wiki/Waikato_River" title="Waikato River">Waikato River</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Belich-2">[2]</a> Government troops crossed into Waikato territory three days later and launched their first attack on 17 July at <a href="/w/index.php?title=Koheroa&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Koheroa (page does not exist)">Koheroa</a>, but were unable to advance for another 14 weeks. The subsequent war included the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Rangiriri" title="Battle of Rangiriri">Battle of Rangiriri</a> (November 1863)—which cost both sides more men than any other engagement of the New Zealand Wars<a href="#cite_note-Belich8-8">[8]</a>—and the three-day-long <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_%C5%8Cr%C4%81kau" class="mw-redirect" title="Battle of Ōrākau">Battle of Ōrākau</a> (March–April 1864), which became arguably the best-known engagement of the New Zealand Wars and which inspired two films called <a href="/wiki/Rewi%27s_Last_Stand" title="Rewi's Last Stand">Rewi's Last Stand</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Belichorakau-9">[9]</a> The campaign ended with the retreat of the Kingitanga Māori into the rugged interior of the North Island and the colonial government <a href="/wiki/New_Zealand_land_confiscations" title="New Zealand land confiscations">confiscating</a> about 12,000 km2 of Māori land. The defeat and confiscations left the King Movement tribes with a legacy of poverty and bitterness that was partly assuaged in 1995 when the government conceded that the 1863 invasion and confiscation was wrongful and apologised for its actions.<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> The Waikato–Tainui tribe accepted compensation in the form of cash and some government-controlled lands totalling about $171 million and later that year Queen <a href="/wiki/Elizabeth_II" title="Elizabeth II">Elizabeth II</a> personally signed the <a href="/wiki/Waikato_Raupatu_Claims_Settlement_Act_1995" title="Waikato Raupatu Claims Settlement Act 1995">Waikato Raupatu Claims Settlement Act 1995</a>.<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a><a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a> (The Governor-General normally gives <a href="/wiki/Royal_Assent" class="mw-redirect" title="Royal Assent">Royal Assent</a> to legislation by signing on the monarch's behalf.) <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Background_and_origins_of_the_invasion">Background and origins of the invasion</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Invasion_of_the_Waikato&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Background and origins of the invasion">edit</a>]</div> The <a href="/wiki/First_Taranaki_War" title="First Taranaki War">First Taranaki War</a> had ended in March 1861 as an uneasy truce between the government and Māori forces, with both sides recognising they had reached a stalemate. The lack of a clear victory by imperial forces led Governor <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Gore_Browne" title="Thomas Gore Browne">Thomas Gore Browne</a> to turn his attention to the Waikato, the centre of the Kīngitanga movement, where king <a href="/wiki/T%C4%81whiao" title="Tāwhiao">Tāwhiao</a> was attracting the allegiance of increasing numbers of Māori across the North Island.<a href="#cite_note-sinclair-13">[13]</a> Browne concluded that members of the Kīngitanga movement would have to be compelled to submit to British rule.<a href="#cite_note-Belich-2">[2]</a> After attempting to achieve a peace settlement through "<a href="/wiki/Kingmaker" title="Kingmaker">kingmaker</a>" <a href="/wiki/Wiremu_Tamihana" title="Wiremu Tamihana">Wiremu Tamihana</a>,<a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a><a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a> in mid-1861 he sent an ultimatum to the movement's leaders, demanding submission to <a href="/wiki/Queen_Victoria" title="Queen Victoria">Queen Victoria</a> and the return of plunder taken from Taranaki; when it was rejected he began drawing up plans to invade the Waikato and depose the king—a plan opposed by both the <a href="/wiki/Colonial_Office" title="Colonial Office">Colonial Office</a> and the New Zealand General Assembly. According to Browne, in response to his belligerence, Kingite leaders formed plans to launch a raid on <a href="/wiki/Auckland" title="Auckland">Auckland</a> on 1 September and burn the town and slaughter most of its residents.<a href="#cite_note-sinclair-13">[13]</a> This has since been dismissed by such historians as James Belich as being fear-mongering from Browne in order to try and gain military support. Browne's invasion plan was suspended when he was replaced by Sir <a href="/wiki/George_Grey" title="George Grey">George Grey</a> in September that year, and the Kingites in turn abandoned their plan for their uprising.<a href="#cite_note-cowan26-16">[16]</a> Grey instead instituted a peace policy that included a system of Māori local administration in which they could participate, hoping it would encourage Māori to abandon the Kingite movement and "reduce the number of our enemies".<a href="#cite_note-Belich-2">[2]</a> At the same time, however, Grey began planning for war, using troops from the newly formed Commissariat Transport Corps to start construction work on a road from <a href="/wiki/Drury,_New_Zealand" title="Drury, New Zealand">Drury</a> that would run about 18 km south through forest to the Kingite border at the Mangatāwhiri Stream—a tributary of the Waikato River—near Pokeno. The so-called <a href="/wiki/Great_South_Road,_New_Zealand" title="Great South Road, New Zealand">Great South Road</a> would provide quick access to troops in the event of an invasion.<a href="#cite_note-Belich-2">[2]</a><a href="#cite_note-king-3">[3]</a><a href="#cite_note-sinclair-13">[13]</a> Using what historian <a href="/wiki/James_Belich_(historian)" title="James Belich (historian)">James Belich</a> describes as a campaign of misinformation, Grey retained the Taranaki army and began appealing to the colonial office for more troops to avert "some great disaster", claiming tensions remained high, with a high likelihood of Māori aggression.<a href="#cite_note-Belich-2">[2]</a> In November 1862 he ordered a gunboat steamer from Sydney and purchased another in Lyttelton to supplement the supply system.<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a> By early 1863 the imperial government had provided Grey with 3000 men for the expected war. Events in early 1863 brought tensions to a head. In March Kingites obstructed the construction of a police station at Te Kohekohe, near <a href="/wiki/Meremere" title="Meremere">Meremere</a>, and 80 armed warriors raided the 80 hectare property at <a href="/wiki/Te_Awamutu" title="Te Awamutu">Te Awamutu</a> occupied by magistrate and Commissioner <a href="/wiki/John_Eldon_Gorst" title="John Eldon Gorst">John Gorst</a>, seizing the printing press on which he published a newspaper and taking it to Kihikihi.<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a> The raiders, led by <a href="/wiki/Rewi_Maniapoto" title="Rewi Maniapoto">Rewi Maniapoto</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wiremu_K%C4%ABngi" title="Wiremu Kīngi">Wiremu Kīngi</a>, sent a message to Gorst—who was absent at the time—to quit the property or risk death; Grey recalled Gorst to Auckland soon after.<a href="#cite_note-cowan26-16">[16]</a> On 4 April Grey arranged for a 300-strong Imperial force to evict Māori from the contested Tataramaika block in <a href="/wiki/Taranaki" title="Taranaki">Taranaki</a> and reoccupy it.

But the continuous arrival of regiments from overseas rapidly swelled the force. (Total troop numbers reached 10,000 in January 1864 before peaking at about 14,000 in March 1864—9000 imperial troops, more than 4000 colonial and a few hundred <a href="/wiki/K%C5%ABpapa" title="Kūpapa">kūpapa</a>, or pro-British Māori.<a href="#cite_note-Belich2-7">[7]</a>) Cameron's initial invasion force set up camp on the site of an old <a href="/wiki/P%C4%81" title="Pā">pā</a> on a hill above the stream. Reinforcements continued to arrive and within days he had 500 troops.<a href="#cite_note-cowan28-25">[25]</a> On the morning of 17 July Cameron led 553 men on a raid on a new and unfinished entrenchment at Koheroa, near Mercer. Cameron ran ahead of his force after they took early fire from Māori outposts and the Māori fighters fled. According to Belich, the Māori force numbered between 100 and 150 and about 15 were killed, some of them by bayonet. Among the dead were their leader Te Huirama, a relative of <a href="/wiki/T%C4%81whiao" title="Tāwhiao">King Tāwhiao</a>. British casualties totalled one dead and 12 wounded. But the same day a Māori war party ambushed a convoy of six carts and its 50-man escort well behind British lines, at Martin's Farm near Ramarama on the Great South Road. A third of the British force were cut down—five soldiers killed and 11 wounded—while Māori losses were limited to two. The attack prompted the establishment of five new redoubts on the route, taking 510 of Cameron's men.<a href="#cite_note-Belich133-23">[23]</a><a href="#cite_note-cowan28-25">[25]</a> The bush raid was the beginning of a new Māori strategy that would drain Cameron's resources and halt his advance for another 14 weeks. On 22 July a group of about 40 Māori fatally shot a settler cutting timber at <a href="/wiki/Pukekiwiriki" title="Pukekiwiriki">Pukekiwiriki</a> near Papakura and were pursued into the forest by the Auckland militia. Seven Māori were killed.<a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a> When two more settlers were killed at isolated farms near Drury on 24 July, the government formed a special corps of bush fighters named the "Forest Rangers", who began a series of bush reconnaissance missions and pursuits of armed Māori bands.<a href="#cite_note-cowan28-25">[25]</a> Cameron wrote: "The bush is now so infested with these natives that I have been obliged to establish strong posts along our line of communication, which absorbs so large a portion of the force that until I receive reinforcements it is impossible for me to advance further up the Waikato."<a href="#cite_note-Belich133-23">[23]</a> By the end of August Cameron's forces had grown to 6000 effectives. He had the armoured 40-ton paddle-steamer <a href="/w/index.php?title=HMSS_%27%27Avon_(1862)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="HMSS ''Avon (1862) (page does not exist)">Avon</a>—20m long, drawing one metre of water and armed with a <a href="/wiki/RBL_12-pounder_8_cwt_Armstrong_gun" title="RBL 12-pounder 8 cwt Armstrong gun">12-pounder Armstrong</a> in the bows—as well as boats, barges and canoes.<a href="#cite_note-cowanfleet-27">[27]</a> But Māori defences had also grown: the so-called Meremere Line—a 22 km-long line of fortifications that spread from <a href="/wiki/Pukekawa" title="Pukekawa">Pukekawa</a> to Meremere and Paparata—had been built, commanding about 2000 square kilometres of bush and manned by a force of up to 1500.<a href="#cite_note-Belich133-23">[23]</a> The Meremere Line allowed bands of between 20 and 200 Māori warriors to freely cross the Waikato River and harass troops and kill settlers towards Auckland. On 25 August a party of Māori snatched up the rifles and ammunition from a group of 25 soldiers who were timber-felling beside the Great South Road—part of an effort to destroy cover for Māori raiders intent on mounting further ambushes—and killed two soldiers. On 2 September a British party of 62 men was fired on from the rear during a march on the village of Pokeno, but managed to pursue their attackers and inflict some casualties.<a href="#cite_note-cowan28-25">[25]</a> In mid-August the British established an alternative supply line to the Great South Road, using a combination of steamers from <a href="/wiki/Onehunga" title="Onehunga">Onehunga</a> to the Waikato Heads and canoes paddled up the Waikato by friendly Māori to <a href="/wiki/Queen%27s_Redoubt" title="Queen's Redoubt">Queen's Redoubt</a> at Pokeno. But on 7 September a <a href="/wiki/Ng%C4%81ti_Maniapoto" title="Ngāti Maniapoto">Ngāti Maniapoto</a> war party launched an attack on that supply line, killing resident magistrate James Armitage<a href="#cite_note-March1864-28">[28]</a>—who was supervising a shipment of stores—and burning a stores depot with 40 tons of supplies at <a href="/wiki/Camerontown" title="Camerontown">Camerontown</a> on the north bank of the Waikato River near Tuakau. The Ngāti Maniapoto then attacked a British redoubt overlooking Pokeno, from which they were driven off.<a href="#cite_note-cowan28-25">[25]</a> The attack on the supply line, said Belich, "was easily the most important single action of the first phase of the war".<a href="#cite_note-Belich133-23">[23]</a> Cameron responded by creating a series of about 20 stockades and redoubts all over the district, designed to protect the supply line and impede the ability of Māori to attack further north. Each stockade needed its own garrison—from 25 to 55 men—and supply line, eventually accounting for almost 6000 of his men, further draining him of frontline manpower.<a href="#cite_note-Belich133-23">[23]</a> But Māori raids continued: almost 200 Ngāti Maniapoto surrounded a militia stockade at a <a href="/wiki/Defence_of_Pukekohe_East_1863" class="mw-redirect" title="Defence of Pukekohe East 1863">Pukekohe East</a> church on 14 September, losing about 40 men, and the same day a 20-man Ngāti Pou force attacked a homestead at Paerata, midway between Pukekohe and Drury, but were driven off by neighbours.<a href="#cite_note-29">[29]</a> The turning point for Cameron came in late October when hundreds of Waikato militia replaced regulars at the outposts, another 500 imperial troops arrived from Australia—now giving him a striking force of almost 2000 and a total of 8000 effectives—and a second river steamer, <a href="/wiki/HMS_Curacoa_(1854)" title="HMS Curacoa (1854)">HMS Curacoa</a>, was brought to the front. On 31 October a river flotilla including Avon, the gunboats Curacoa and Pioneer and armoured barges steamed past Meremere—drawing fire from rifle pits and batteries of ships guns, some of them firing pieces of iron chain and pound weights—and landed 600 men at Takapau, 15 km upriver, ready to attack the heart of the defensive line from the rear. The flotilla returned downstream, intending to bring up another 600 men the next day for the attack, but the plan was dropped when the Māori force evacuated the Meremere fortifications the following day and escaped eastwards across flooded lagoons by canoe,<a href="#cite_note-Belich133-23">[23]</a><a href="#cite_note-30">[30]</a> falling back to their next defensive system at Rangiriri. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Rangiriri">Rangiriri</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Invasion_of_the_Waikato&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Rangiriri">edit</a>]</div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236090951">.mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Rangiriri" title="Battle of Rangiriri">Battle of Rangiriri</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Waikato_invasion_military_posts_1863.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8a/Waikato_invasion_military_posts_1863.jpg/220px-Waikato_invasion_military_posts_1863.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="229" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8a/Waikato_invasion_military_posts_1863.jpg/330px-Waikato_invasion_military_posts_1863.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8a/Waikato_invasion_military_posts_1863.jpg/440px-Waikato_invasion_military_posts_1863.jpg 2x" data-file-width="525" data-file-height="547" /></a><figcaption>Military posts and scenes of engagement in South Auckland and the Waikato, 1863</figcaption></figure> Three weeks later, on 20 November, Cameron, commanding a battle force of more than 1400 men, launched an attack on Rangiriri, further up the Waikato River. The battle cost both sides more than any other engagement of the land wars and also resulted in the capture of 180 Māori combatants, which impacted on their subsequent ability to oppose the far bigger British force.<a href="#cite_note-Belich8-8">[8]</a> The Rangiriri line, engineered by Te Wharepu, a leading Waikato chief, was a one kilometre-long system of deep trenches and high parapets that ran between the Waikato River and <a href="/wiki/Lake_Waikare" title="Lake Waikare">Lake Waikare</a>. The front line ran east–west, while another line of defences ran south from the main line, facing the river. In the centre of the main line lay a small but well-protected north-facing <a href="/wiki/Redoubt" title="Redoubt">redoubt</a> with several lines of concealed rifle pits at its southern side. The defences consisted solely of earthworks, with no palisading; a redoubt midway along the main line, had a low profile and was deceptively strong.<a href="#cite_note-Belich8-8">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-cowan35-31">[31]</a> Cameron arrived at Rangiriri with about 850 men, chiefly of the <a href="/wiki/65th_(2nd_Yorkshire,_North_Riding)_Regiment_of_Foot" title="65th (2nd Yorkshire, North Riding) Regiment of Foot">65th</a>, <a href="/wiki/West_Yorkshire_Regiment" title="West Yorkshire Regiment">14th</a> and <a href="/wiki/Suffolk_Regiment" title="Suffolk Regiment">12th</a> regiments, to make the frontal assault. A second division of 320 men of the 40th Regiment under Lieut-Colonel Arthur Leslie with additional naval backup, were transported by barge further south with the aim of gaining possession of a ridge 500 metres behind the main entrenchment and cutting off any escape.<a href="#cite_note-Belich8-8">[8]</a> The assault force, armed with three <a href="/wiki/Armstrong_Gun" class="mw-redirect" title="Armstrong Gun">Armstrong guns</a>, revolvers, <a href="/wiki/Pattern_1853_Enfield" title="Pattern 1853 Enfield">Enfield rifles</a> with fixed <a href="/wiki/Bayonet" title="Bayonet">bayonets</a> and <a href="/wiki/Hand_grenade" class="mw-redirect" title="Hand grenade">hand grenades</a>, faced a Māori force of about 500 men, mostly armed with <a href="/wiki/Double-barreled_shotgun" title="Double-barreled shotgun">double-barreled shotguns</a> and <a href="/wiki/Musket" title="Musket">muskets</a>.<a href="#cite_note-cowan35-31">[31]</a> About 3pm Cameron launched a two-hour bombardment from artillery and gunboats. Without waiting for Leslie's division, which was delayed by adverse conditions on the river, he began his frontal attack, storming the Māori positions across a 600m gap under heavy fire and immediately suffering casualties. Members of the 12th and 14th regiments who tried to climb the earthworks near the centre of the line with the aid of ladders were shot down and within a short time 40 of the British were dead or wounded. Members of the 65th Regiment, however, were more successful in reaching the trenches at the river side of the fortification, bridging them with planks and penetrating the Māori line. They killed about 30 Māori, with the surviving defenders fleeing south or towards the main redoubt. But when Cameron ordered an attack on the redoubt from the river side, his men began to come under heavy fire. Cameron ordered two more unsuccessful assaults on the central redoubt, which lifted British casualties to about 110.<a href="#cite_note-Belich8-8">[8]</a> As night fell, the British, dispirited by the scale of losses, slept on the wet ground, ready to renew the combat in the morning. But about 5am the Rangiriri garrison—still with arms and ammunition and with an escape route open to the east—raised a white flag, expecting to talk terms with Cameron.<a href="#cite_note-Belich8-8">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-32">[32]</a> British soldiers advanced on the redoubt and entered, shook hands with their combatants, then surprised the Māori by demanding they surrender all their arms and taking them prisoner. Belich wrote: "The capture of Rangiriri was not the result of assault or encirclement, but of the British misuse of a flag of truce. The Māoris might conceivably have eventually decided to surrender unconditionally anyway, but they might also have repelled further assaults and escaped across the lake." He said they might have also been gaining time waiting for reinforcements who were almost on the scene. About 35 of the Māori force were killed, along with six women and children. Probably an equal number of injured were evacuated by canoe across Lake Waikare. With the capture of more than 180 warriors, the battle became the most costly Māori defeat in the Waikato wars.<a href="#cite_note-Belich8-8">[8]</a> The 183 prisoners were held without trial on an old coal hulk in <a href="/wiki/Waitemat%C4%81_Harbour" title="Waitematā Harbour">Waitematā Harbour</a> before being moved to <a href="/wiki/Kawau_Island" title="Kawau Island">Kawau Island</a>, north of Auckland, but in September 1864 they escaped and eventually made their way back to the Waikato.<a href="#cite_note-cowan35-31">[31]</a> Cameron attracted both praise for his "skilful measures" in the capture of Rangiriri and severe criticism over the high number of British losses. Yet the battle had highlighted the rapidly growing disparity between British and Māori forces and the inability of Waikato Māori to maintain their manpower continuously.<a href="#cite_note-Belich2-7">[7]</a><a href="#cite_note-Belich8-8">[8]</a> Several Waikato chiefs including Te Wharepu expressed a willingness to negotiate and on 8 December the Kingite capital at <a href="/wiki/Ng%C4%81ruaw%C4%81hia" title="Ngāruawāhia">Ngāruawāhia</a> was abandoned and then taken by Cameron's troops. But Māori were still opposed to the British demands of submitting to the Queen and surrendering all arms and lands and began building further defences south of Ngāruawāhia.<a href="#cite_note-Belich9-33">[33]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Pāterangi_and_Rangiaowhia">Pāterangi and Rangiaowhia</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Invasion_of_the_Waikato&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Pāterangi and Rangiaowhia">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Rangiaowhia.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/01/Rangiaowhia.jpg/220px-Rangiaowhia.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="122" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/01/Rangiaowhia.jpg/330px-Rangiaowhia.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/01/Rangiaowhia.jpg/440px-Rangiaowhia.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1281" data-file-height="711" /></a><figcaption>Operations at Rangiaowhia and Hairini, showing positions captured by the British on 21–22 February 1864</figcaption></figure> Construction of a new and even more formidable defence line began 25 km south of Ngāruawāhia, soon after the fall of Rangiriri. The line included fortifications at Pikopiko and Rangiatea and was centred on <a href="/wiki/Paterangi" title="Paterangi">Paterangi</a>, its largest pā, and was designed to block the main approaches to the agriculturally rich <a href="/wiki/Rangiaowhia" title="Rangiaowhia">Rangiaowhia</a> district, east of <a href="/wiki/Te_Awamutu" title="Te Awamutu">Te Awamutu</a>, a major economic base, trading with Auckland, San Francisco and Melbourne,<a href="#cite_note-34">[34]</a> and a supply centre of the Kingite tribes. By the end of January 1864 the line had become the largest system of Māori fortifications of the land wars, consisting of at least four large pā spaced about 8 km apart, each of which included complex sets of entrenchments and parapets. The defence system, which included two cannons, was manned by a force of between 1200 and 2000 men from a dozen major Waikato iwi.<a href="#cite_note-Belichpaterangi-35">[35]</a><a href="#cite_note-cowan36-36">[36]</a> Two weeks after capturing Ngāruawāhia, Cameron's 3000-strong striking force, protected by another 4000 men, began slowly and cautiously advancing south. In late January Cameron moved his army headquarters to <a href="/wiki/Te_Rore" title="Te Rore">Te Rore</a>, about 5 km from Paterangi, with an advance camp for 600 men positioned just 1.2 km from the pā, from where they judged the defences were "immensely strong".<a href="#cite_note-cowan36-36">[36]</a> Cameron, whose men continued to be targeted daily by sniper fire and attacks on short reconnaissance missions, decided that rather than a frontal attack, the more prudent approach would be to outflank the Paterangi line. He gained the help of two Māori guides, Himi Manuao (James Edwards) and John Gage, who had previously lived in the area, who revealed a route that bypassed it to the west and south to reach Te Awamutu.<a href="#cite_note-cowan37-37">[37]</a> A new supply line was established from Auckland, using boats to <a href="/wiki/Raglan,_New_Zealand" title="Raglan, New Zealand">Raglan</a> and packhorses across the ranges to meet steamers on the <a href="/wiki/Waip%C4%81_River" title="Waipā River">Waipā River</a>.<a href="#cite_note-stowers6-38">[38]</a> But a further advance into the heart of Kingitanga territory was delayed when the Avon—one of the most important components of the transport and supply system—accidentally sank in the Waipa on 8 February. A significant engagement took place on 11 February when an assault party from Paterangi ambushed a group of soldiers bathing in a loop of the Mangapiki Stream at Waiari, near the British forward position. Two hundred of Cameron's troops, with the Forest Rangers, became involved in a running battle with the attackers and killed an estimated 41 Māori, losing six of their own men.<a href="#cite_note-cowan36-36">[36]</a><a href="#cite_note-stowers6-38">[38]</a> <a href="/wiki/George_Selwyn_(bishop_of_Lichfield)" class="mw-redirect" title="George Selwyn (bishop of Lichfield)">Bishop George Selwyn</a>, as garrison chaplain, had been told on 12 February that women, children and elderly would be taking refuge at unfortified and undefended Rangiaowhai, and had been asked to communicate that with Cameron. <a href="/wiki/Kingitanga" class="mw-redirect" title="Kingitanga">Kingitanga</a> leaders understood they would be unharmed.<a href="#cite_note-inglorious-39">[39]</a> There were about 200 Ngati-Apakura and Ngati-Hinetu people at Rangiaowhia, supplying food to the garrisons at Paterangi pā.<a href="#cite_note-:5-40">[40]</a> Cameron, meanwhile, was attracting sharp criticism from both the colonist press and Grey himself<a href="#cite_note-Belichpaterangi-35">[35]</a><a href="#cite_note-stowers6-38">[38]</a> about the lack of progress in the eight weeks since Ngāruawāhia's capture. On the night of 20 February, he set out on the narrow bush track to bypass Paterangi with 1230 men led by one of his guides and the Forest Rangers, leaving a large masking force in front of Paterangi. The force marched through rough bush in silence and complete darkness, passing within 1500 metres of the Paterangi pā without detection and arriving in Te Awamutu at dawn. They advanced to the village of Rangiaowhia, where they attacked about 100 mostly elderly men, and about 100 women and children.<a href="#cite_note-cowan37-37">[37]</a> Most terrified villagers fled, a few shot at the troops, some sheltered in the churches, at least seven were burnt to death in their houses<a href="#cite_note-:6-41">[41]</a> and at least one attempted to surrender, but was murdered by troops ignoring their orders.<a href="#cite_note-42">[42]</a> Women were raped and killed in front of children.<a href="#cite_note-Mihi-43">[43]</a> About a dozen houses were burned down. The British claimed they killed 12 Māori, including two chiefs, and took 30 prisoners. Their own losses totaled five, including several officers.<a href="#cite_note-cowan37-37">[37]</a><a href="#cite_note-:6-41">[41]</a> Some unofficial estimates suggest there were more than 100 Māori deaths.<a href="#cite_note-inglorious-39">[39]</a> As the village was largely occupied by women, children and older men, the deaths have been regarded as murder, rather than an act of war.<a href="#cite_note-:7-44">[44]</a> When Cameron's forces returned to Te Awamutu, the men of Rangiaowhia abandoned Paterangi, Pikopiko, and Rangiatea pā to defend their families and began rapidly digging a new trench on the crest of a ridge at Hairini, cutting the route between Te Awamutu and Rangiaowhia.<a href="#cite_note-cowan37-37">[37]</a><a href="#cite_note-inglorious-39">[39]</a> The trench, fortified with a parapet and stakes, ended in swamp at one end and thick bush at the other. A thousand of Cameron's men, supported by three Armstrong guns, advanced on an estimated 100 Māori manning the frontline on the morning of 22 February. With the Armstrong guns firing over their heads, the infantry, cavalry and Forest Rangers moved towards the defensive line before finally charging with bayonets, revolvers and sabres, driving out the Māori. The British forces pursued the Kingites to Rangiaowhia, where they looted the village and later built a redoubt.<a href="#cite_note-cowan37-37">[37]</a> Belich claims the so-called "Battle of Hairini" was simply a delaying tactic by the Māori, allowing them to move as many supplies as they could from Rangiaowhia and the Paterangi line. He says the Kingites, by abandoning the Paterangi line, managed to save their army which otherwise would have been destroyed in an all-out pitched battle; Cameron's decision to outflank the Paterangi line, meanwhile, was described as a "brilliant" strategy that forced his enemy out of one of its richest economic centres with minimal British losses, becoming the greatest British victory of the Waikato invasion.<a href="#cite_note-Belichpaterangi-35">[35]</a> For Kingitanga supporters, who after the Rangiriri battle had been urged to fight in a "civilised" manner by the British, and had moved their families away from their fortifications to an undefended, open village, the assault on Rangiaowhia was an almost "incomprehensible act of savagery".<a href="#cite_note-inglorious-39">[39]</a> The role of Bishop Selwyn in the Rangiaowhia attack is unclear. He came with the invading forces,<a href="#cite_note-:7-44">[44]</a> but also helped with Māori burials.<a href="#cite_note-45">[45]</a> The wife and two daughters of <a href="/wiki/Kereopa_Te_Rau" title="Kereopa Te Rau">Kereopa Te Rau</a> were killed in the attack, and his sister was killed in defence of the Hairini line a few days later. <a href="/wiki/Marmaduke_Nixon" title="Marmaduke Nixon">Colonel Marmaduke Nixon</a>, who had led the Rangiaowhia cavalry charge, was mortally wounded.

Cameron remained at Rangiaowhia, preparing to pursue him. Rewi Maniapoto, with the other main division, moved south into the Hangitiki Valley to defend Ngati Maniapoto bases.<a href="#cite_note-Belichpaterangi-35">[35]</a> Ngati Maniapoto fighters and their allies remained determined to continue the war, but were divided over their strategy: whether to guard the hinterland with large defensive systems on the fringes, or to challenge the nearby occupying forces with a new pā. Rewi deferred a decision until he could consult with Tamihana, the kingmaker, and set out with a small group to Tamihana's stronghold near present-day <a href="/wiki/Cambridge,_New_Zealand" title="Cambridge, New Zealand">Cambridge</a> on the upper Waikato. On the way he encountered a group of about 140 of the dispersed Paterangi army, mainly warriors from distant <a href="/wiki/Ng%C4%81i_T%C5%ABhoe" title="Ngāi Tūhoe">Tūhoe</a> and Ngāti Raukawa iwi. The Tūhoe chiefs urged Rewi to build a pā at the agricultural village of Ōrākau, near <a href="/wiki/Kihikihi" title="Kihikihi">Kihikihi</a>, to challenge the troops, explaining that their guns and ammunition had been carried a long distance and were "too heavy to carry all this way for nothing".<a href="#cite_note-cowan38-47">[47]</a> Although he strongly opposed the plan, convinced it would result in their defeat, Rewi relented—possibly in return for the loyalty they had shown in crossing the North Island to join the fight for his territory<a href="#cite_note-Belichorakau-9">[9]</a>—and accompanied them back to Ōrākau, arriving about 28 March. For Rewi, a skilled strategist and warrior, the major concerns about Ōrākau were that it had no immediate water supply and, sited on a low hill, overlooked by the nearby "California" ridge, 850m to the southwest, could also be easily encircled. The land immediately to the south of the pa was a series of low undulating hillocks leading to swamp.<a href="#cite_note-48">[48]</a> For two days the villagers, as well as Rewi's forces and the new reinforcements, labored in shifts to strengthen the defences of the pā, located on a slight rise of land in the midst of peach groves. Measuring about 30 metres by 12 metres, the pā was enclosed within a rectangular redoubt and contained interior bunkers, trenches, firing apertures. The main parapet was just 1.2 metres high, the outer trench a metre deep and the entire system was surrounded by a post and three-rail fence. The pā was defended by between 200 and 250 warriors—mainly Tūhoe and Ngāti Raukawa—drawn from at least nine tribes, as well as about 50 women and children.<a href="#cite_note-Belichorakau-9">[9]</a> Early on 30 March two surveyors working at Kihikihi observed through a telescope construction of entrenchments at the Ōrākau pā and immediately passed the information to Brigadier General <a href="/wiki/George_Jackson_Carey" title="George Jackson Carey">G. J. Carey</a>, who had been left in charge of the British forces. Carey, keen to surprise the Kingites, immediately began organising an expedition and at midnight the first of three separate columns, comprising members of the 40th, 65th and <a href="/wiki/Royal_Irish_Regiment_(1684%E2%80%931922)" title="Royal Irish Regiment (1684–1922)">18th Royal Irish</a> Regiments, as well as Forest Rangers and Waikato Militia, set out for Ōrākau with two Armstrong six-pounders, arriving before daybreak.<a href="#cite_note-cowan38-47">[47]</a> The total force for the mission was 1120 men. The two cannons were set up on a small plateau 350m to the west and about the same height above the pā. They were shooting across the front of the 40th Regiment who were situated 250 m south of the pā behind a small hill.<a href="#cite_note-49">[49]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="31_March_–_1_April,_days_one_and_two">31 March – 1 April, days one and two</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Invasion_of_the_Waikato&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: 31 March – 1 April, days one and two">edit</a>]</div> Early on 31 March the first attack was made on Ōrākau, whose parapets and exterior fence was still incomplete. The Ōrākau garrison spotted the attacking force to their west just minutes before the bugle was sounded to charge and warriors were ordered by Rewi into the outer trenches. The Kingites held their fire until the attackers were within 50 metres, then fired in two volleys, halting the advance. Two more waves of attack were similarly repulsed, with several casualties, including officers.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] Realising the strength of Ōrākau, Carey decided to <a href="/wiki/Investment_(military)" title="Investment (military)">encircle</a> the pā and began shelling it from about 350 metres, though the design and construction methods of the bunkers neutralised the force of the bombardment. He then ordered a start on a shallow <a href="/wiki/Sapping" title="Sapping">sap</a> that zig-zagged towards its western face from a distance of about 120 metres. A party of Māori reinforcements appeared about 2 km to the east, but retreated, unable to break through the British lines. Sporadic shooting continued through the night, with the besieged occupants of Ōrākau chanting and singing.<a href="#cite_note-cowan38-47">[47]</a> By dawn the second day—with fog so thick the combatants could not see one another—the Ōrākau garrison realised they had exhausted their water supplies and most of their ammunition. Ngāti Maniapoto chief Winitana Tupotahi suggested at a runanga, or council of chiefs, that they abandon the pā, but Rewi rejected the proposal. At midday many attempted to break out of the pā through the cordon at the east, but were driven back twice, suffering the loss of one of their chiefs. One Kingite told Cowan: "We were in better spirits after our fight in the open; nevertheless we realized that our position was hopeless, short of food and water, short of lead, and surrounded by soldiers many times outnumbering our garrison, and with big guns throwing shells into our defences." Further British reinforcements arrived, including a second company of Forest Rangers, taking the British strength to almost 1500. Shelling continued as the sap approached the pā, its progress slowed by accurate fire from the Kingites.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] That night, Tupotahi suggested they make a breakout under cover of dark. Rewi supported the plan, but the runanga decided they should stay and fight. With ammunition now running very short, the Kingites—so parched they could not swallow their remaining food—began firing peach stones, 5 cm-long sections of apple tree branches and pieces of metal.<a href="#cite_note-Belichorakau-9">[9]</a><a href="#cite_note-cowan38-47">[47]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="2_April:_day_three">2 April: day three</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Invasion_of_the_Waikato&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: 2 April: day three">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Orakau.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f0/Orakau.jpg/220px-Orakau.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="293" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f0/Orakau.jpg/330px-Orakau.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f0/Orakau.jpg/440px-Orakau.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1200" data-file-height="1600" /></a><figcaption>A memorial at the site of the battle of Ōrākau</figcaption></figure> Another runanga was held before dawn on 2 April and again Tupotahi urged them to break out. Though many of the chiefs remained steadfast in their refusal to retreat, Rewi insisted the effect of the water shortage was now so severe they had to break out, but urged they go out fighting. The plan was aborted when dawn broke and the fog lifted, removing their cover. Through the morning the British sap advanced close enough to the outer trenches of Ōrākau for hand-grenades to be thrown over the ramparts. At noon Cameron arrived with more men, bringing the besieging imperial and colonial force to 1800. One of the Armstrong guns was moved to the head of the sap and fired at the <a href="/wiki/Outwork" title="Outwork">outwork</a> of the pā about 30 metres away, breaching the wall. Under the combination of shells, hand grenades and rifle fire, Māori casualties began to climb rapidly.<a href="#cite_note-cowan39-50">[50]</a><a href="#cite_note-stowers12-51">[51]</a> Soon after arriving, Cameron, impressed by the courage of the garrison, decided to give them the opportunity to surrender. Two interpreters were sent to the head of the sap with a white flag and Major William Mair called out the offer in <a href="/wiki/M%C4%81ori_language" title="Māori language">Māori</a>, which was passed to Rewi, within the pā. Although there are several versions of Rewi's reply, he is reputed to have declared through his messenger, "Ka whawhai tonu ahau ki a koe, ake, ake" ("I shall fight you forever, and ever, and ever")<a href="#cite_note-cowan39-50">[50]</a> When a shot was fired at Mair as he withdrew, grazing his shoulder, the British forces responded with a heavier hail of grenades, artillery and gunfire. The Ōrākau garrison repulsed two more attempts by the Waikato militia to rush the north-west outworks, but at 4:00 pm the chiefs, realising the end was near, decided to break out. Placing women and children in the middle of the group and their best warriors in front, the Māori broke through the earthworks at the south-east corner of the pā and ran downhill without opposition 200 metres towards a ridge to the south, behind which the some men of the 40th were sheltering. They then dropped down a sloping 10-metre bank, surprising members of the 40th Regiment, who formed the south eastern edge of the cordon before running for cover in a nearby swamp. The group, many of them holding empty shotguns or <a href="/wiki/Tomahawk_(axe)" class="mw-redirect" title="Tomahawk (axe)">tomahawks</a>, was pursued by sword-bearing cavalry and hundreds of soldiers who fired on and bayoneted the fleeing Māori; Forest Rangers kept up the chase until dusk. Back at Ōrākau, meanwhile, soldiers stormed the pā as the garrison fled, bayoneting and shooting many of the wounded, including women and children.<a href="#cite_note-cowan39-50">[50]</a> One of the women was <a href="/wiki/Hine-i-turama_Ngatiki" title="Hine-i-turama Ngatiki">Hine-i-turama Ngatiki</a>.<a href="#cite_note-52">[52]</a> Sixteen of the British forces died in the three-day battle and 53 were wounded, some of them mortally; while estimates of Māori fatalities range from 80<a href="#cite_note-Belichorakau-9">[9]</a> to 160,<a href="#cite_note-cowan39-50">[50]</a> with half of the casualties coming from the Urewera contingent. Another 26 wounded were taken prisoner.

Leaving his captured territory occupied by troops, he resumed his preparations to assault one of the strongest of Tamihana's pā, Te Tiki o te Ihingarangi, about 25 km northeast of Ōrākau near modern-day <a href="/wiki/Lake_Karapiro" title="Lake Karapiro">Lake Karapiro</a>. The pā formed part of a long line of pā the Kingites called aukati, or boundary.

After three days the Kingites abandoned the pā, but Cameron decided further effort in the region would be fruitless and withdrew, switching his focus to <a href="/wiki/Tauranga_Campaign" class="mw-redirect" title="Tauranga Campaign">Tauranga</a>.

The New Zealand Settlements Act was passed in December 1863 and in 1865 Governor Grey confiscated more than 480,000 hectares of land from the <a href="/wiki/Tainui" title="Tainui">Waikato–Tainui</a> iwi (tribe) in the Waikato as punishment for their earlier "rebellion". Proclamations under the act were issued on 30 January 1865 for the seizure of the East Wairoa and West Pukekohe blocks for settlement and colonisation, followed by the Central Waikato district and the Māngere, Pukaki, Ihumata and Kerikeri blocks (16 May 1865).<a href="#cite_note-60">[60]</a> As the occupants were evicted from their land, their belongings were looted by colonial forces and neighbouring settlers, with houses ransacked, cattle seized and horses transported for sale in Auckland.<a href="#cite_note-61">[61]</a> The war and confiscation of land caused heavy economic, social and cultural damage to Waikato-Tainui. King <a href="/wiki/T%C4%81whiao" title="Tāwhiao">Tāwhiao</a> and his people were forced to retreat into the heartland of <a href="/wiki/Ng%C4%81ti_Maniapoto" title="Ngāti Maniapoto">Ngāti Maniapoto</a>. The Maniapoto, by contrast, had been more zealous for war than the Waikato, yet suffered no loss of land because its territory was too remote to be of use to white settlers.<a href="#cite_note-Oliver-62">[62]</a><a href="#cite_note-63">[63]</a> The 1927 Royal Commission on Confiscated Land, chaired by senior supreme court judge Sir William Sim, concluded that although the government restored a quarter of the 1,202,172 acres (486,500 hectares) originally seized and paid almost £23,000 compensation, the Waikato confiscations had been "excessive".<a href="#cite_note-64">[64]</a> The <a href="/wiki/Waitangi_Tribunal" title="Waitangi Tribunal">Waitangi Tribunal</a> in 1985 declared the Tainui people of the Waikato had never rebelled,<a href="#cite_note-65">[65]</a> but had been forced into a defensive war.<a href="#cite_note-66">[66]</a> In the early 1990s Tainui opted to bypass the Waitangi Tribunal and concluded a treaty claims settlement with the Crown through direct negotiation. In May 1995 the Crown signed a deed of settlement with Waikato–Tainui that included cash and land valued at $170 million. The settlement included an admission by the Crown that it had "unjustly confiscated" the land. It formally and publicly apologised to Waikato–Tainui and the Kingitanga for unjustly invading Waikato–Tainui lands, for sending imperial forces across the Mangataawhiri, and for the loss of life and the devastation of property that ensued. The Crown expressed profound regret and apologised unreservedly for the invasion and the crippling effects it had on the welfare of the Waikato-Tainui people.<a href="#cite_note-67">[67]</a><a href="#cite_note-68">[68]</a> Queen <a href="/wiki/Elizabeth_II" title="Elizabeth II">Elizabeth II</a> affirmed the apology of the Crown by signing the <a href="/wiki/Waikato_Raupatu_Claims_Settlement_Act_1995" title="Waikato Raupatu Claims Settlement Act 1995">Waikato Raupatu Claims Settlement Act 1995</a> in the presences of the head of the Kingitanga, Māori Queen <a href="/wiki/Dame_(title)" class="mw-redirect" title="Dame (title)">Dame</a> <a href="/wiki/Te_Atairangikaahu" title="Te Atairangikaahu">Te Atairangikaahu</a>.
