Mangatāwhiri

British forces first invaded Waikato in 1863, at Mangatāwhiri. The Crown declared Waikato-Tainui rebels and sought to confiscate land. In 1928, the Sim Commission found the confiscations to have been immoral, illegal and excessive. In 1987, the Waitangi Tribunal found that Waikato-Tainui had been incorrectly branded as rebels. The 1995 Settlement and apology was signed to address the past wrongs.
