Ep: 1: Tūhawaiki
Tūhawaiki was a rangatira of Ngāi Tahu from Ruapuke Island. He was a warrior, a businessman and a politician. It was Tūhawaiki who led the fight back against Te Rauparaha and Ngāti Toa after they attacked Ngāi Tahu, leaving thousands killed, injured or displaced. Outnumbered and outgunned, the courage and creativity of Tūhawaiki forged a way forward. When Major Bunbury arrived at Ruapuke seeking his signature on the Treaty of Waitangi, Tūhawaiki signed, then turned the tables with demands of his own.
