  • Gold! The mania for this shiny yellow metal swept all over Aotearoa in the second half of the 19th century and left the country, and many of its people, fundamentally changed.
    This episode we ask:
    Māori attitudes towards gold before, and after European contact?
    What makes a gold rush happen?
    How did the New Zealand gold rush fit into the context of gold rushes overseas?
    How did the rush get started?
    Who were the diggers and what were they like?
    What was the role of women in the rush?
    How did the gold rush affect tangata whenua?
    What was the role of Chinese migrants in the gold rush, and how did Europeans respond to them?
    How did the gold rush happen in different parts of Aotearoa?

    These videos are amazing clear and informing of all the historical acts and dates of events of true actions for the next generation. This will empower our future to challenge false narratives, expose fear mongering and propaganda tactics. But more importantly allow them to challenge and destroy racism in all institutions based on facts. Sadly I must mention the attitude of the old empirical and baby boomers need updating.

      Thanks for that. Of course new ideas will come along and challenge these narratives as well. And so they should. History doesn't stand still, there's always more to learn and discuss and new ways of seeing.

    Could you guys do History on Kaimanawa Rocks Taupo area and
    WAIPOUA FOREST Hokianga New Zealand.
    Why government have put 76 year research restriction around the giant rocks coming out of the ground.

      So you want the truth skewed for your own pleasure like what's taught in schools?

    America has Aotearoa kauri in building today. Aotearoa was sold to an American timber trade. I'm on aotea where recent climate change rain washed away the Southern Hemisphere's largest timber mill. A man was made banker, another man made mayor. Pidgeon post was set up to warn dealers on aotea of inspectors boating over. BRITISH AMERICAN TOBACCO DID THE SAME BEHAVIOR IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE as the French and Spanish settled for very large parts of the America's. The French had a go at Aotearoa too via the North west coast as the English use6s the Bay of islands. The French settled for French Polynesa, and nuclear bomb testing and a fleet of nuclear submarine to Australia via AUKUS. NOGHING Hs changed except the Panda warned of waking, has woken! So weather change got extreme and the battle ground is now Ukraine. ✌❤ & understanding. Aye?
