This latter action led to wars over land between Māori and Europeans in both the 1840s and 1860s, known as the New Zealand Wars (Cannadine 2001). From having possession of all the land pre-Europeanization, by 1891 Māori held only 17 per cent of the land in Aotearoa New Zealand and their numbers had also reduced from being 50 per cent of the population in 1860 to only 10 per cent in 1891 (King 2003). Some iwi suffered more than others did. If an iwi was believed to have harboured a fugitive, for example, then this could automatically lead to land confiscation.

The country has a long pre-colonial history under Māori settlement, but since European colonization Māori culture has faced severe acculturation, which has only slowly been changing since the mid to late 1960s. In the heritage sector, too, Eurocentric ideas of museum practice have dominated the curation and preservation of artefacts, regardless of their origins. This chapter explores the effects of this practice and how it is now developing to be more inclusive and aware of differing attitudes to cultural treasures.
