Wayne Ryburn: EXPOSING HISTORY CURRICULUM MYTHS - ARTICLE 1
Attention is made to the many inaccuracies featured in this workbook. The creation and use of many myths occurs through out the text, with no verification made to there authenticity which indicates the author is writing only from an ideological perspective only. This does not help students to understand the complexity of events in New Zealand's early history.
Several myths and much misinformation has emerged, in recent times, and are covered in this critique;
1.The creation of a partnership between the Crown and Maori Iwi with the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi 1840

3 Wiremu Kingi was a paramount chief over the minor chief,Teira.
4 The government insisted Waikato Maori sell their land as they were prospering.
5 The massacre of women and children at Rangiaowhia 21st Feb 1864.
6 Parihaka convicts were held in a cave in Dunedin,with many dying of exposure.
7 Ngati Whatua gifted land for the settlement of Auckland in1840.
Plus a few other myths and misrepresentation of events exist that are being taught as historic facts.
I will give the key points with page referencing from the text book.....
