Wayne Ryburn: ARTICLE 5 - EXPOSING HISTORY CURRICULUM MYTHS
The 4th Myth: The “Rangiaowhia massacre” 21 Feb 1864, that a “church” was deliberately burnt down including women and children. Also, the forfeiture of land due to rebellion.
A video clip on the Land wars in Taranaki and Waikato is looked at, Students can also view the RNZ Tainui clip on the Waikato wars. In this another myth has been developed re the notoriety of what is now called the Rangiaowhia Massacre.21st Feb 1864.
This myth, developed in recent times, is typical of historians who often “over-reach” in developing their perspective on the New Zealand wars, It is based only on oral accounts.
The emotive commentary in the clip claims that thousands lived in this village in 1864, in reality only 2-300 lived there. Also claiming it was the bread basket for Auckland, but by the late 1850's this was also untrue......
