He married into the local Maori tribe, acquired land, and set up as a trader.\u003cbr\u003eHe fitted easily into the role of a rough and ready \"Pakeha-Maori\" - a man equally at home in both worlds. He opposed the Treaty of Waitangi when it was brought to Hokianga in 1840, partly because he felt that Maori culture and British institutions could not mix, and partly because he feared that British sovereignty would end land speculation. He also despised the English missionaries who were likely to influence the new Lieutenant-Governor, William Hobson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eALL PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL BOOK. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll books are sent with free courier postage within New Zealand.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Books NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50648246714615,"sku":null,"price":7700.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7687\/5255\/files\/IMG_6874_42ec36cb-1876-4f50-9be1-ec43f02e9eee.jpg?v=1774907090","url":"https:\/\/phoenixbooksnz.com\/en-jp\/products\/old-new-zealand-a-tale-of-the-good-old-times-and-a-hisotry-of-the-war-in-the-north-against-the-chief-heke-in-the-year-1845-told-by-an-old-chief-of-the-ngapuhi-tribe-also-maori-traditions-by-a-pakeha-maori-f-e-maning","provider":"Phoenix Books NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
