Talk:Hōne Heke

message: I replaced the connection with Rahiri because it was significant contribution to his ability to influence other Maori tribes.  ping 06:59, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

message: This is POV: "Furthermore it became clear that the British considered the authority of the chiefs to be subservient to that of the Crown although the treaty promised equal partnership."
Yes, it was Hone Heke's POV. ping 07:57, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  the treaty promised what, again?!? 

message: "...and negotiated a ceasefire, which they then imposed upon the British."
If a ceasefire is negotiated, then can it be "imposed" upon someone? Stephenjh (talk) 00:34, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Good point. I have reworded it according to the NZDB - seems like we got it garbled along the way somehow. The NZDB says: About a week after the withdrawal from Ruapekapeka, Heke, Kawiti and Nene met at the pa of the neutral chief Pomare II and agreed to seek peace. Nene was to act as intermediary between the resistance leaders and the government, and went to Auckland to tell the governor that they had made peace. Kahuroa (talk) 04:10, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

message: The account here of Ohaewai includes a story of torture of a captured British soldier.  This is cited in Moon's book, although James Cowan described it as 'palpable nonsense'.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Huttoldboys (talk • contribs) 04:51, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  'infamous' battle 

message: One editor has removed a section that talks about torture.I believe this was well documented in this case. No real reason was given for the removal.This section reflects the sometimes brutal reality of war involving Maori in those days.As James Cowan died in 1943 he couldnt possibly have read Moon's book or have seen his references.

thread_title:  Reason for removing section about torture?? 

message: Recently the University of Waikato has received about 2000 letters from the Vatican that relate to the activities of the early French Missionaries like Petit and Pompelier.French speaking Masters student Kate ? has made a start on translating these and they are very revealing about attitudes to the Maori and to the protestants in the North. So far the letters have revealed that the French felt very underesourced and undermanned compared to the British. They also show they envied the Protestant's concern for the well being of sailors at sea. The letters are long and often filled with minutae about religion which is less intesting than the observations about early NZ.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.237.39.161 (talk) 00:35, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

message: The article currently says "Conflicting reports survive as to when Heke signed the Treaty of Waitangi. He may have signed with the other chiefs on 6 February 1840". I'm not entirely clear on what the source for this is (I can't find it in the next citation, but admit that I've only had a cursory look at the moment: ).
The Treaty of Waitangi article says "Hōne Heke was the first of the Māori chiefs who signed that day". The citation is  This also seems to be supported by other sources I'd regard as authoritative, e.g. his DNZB entry, NZ History.
Currently at work (on a tea break) so I'm intending to review the article and sources properly later, but also flagging on the talk page anyone else has differing views/information in the meantime. Chocmilk03 (talk) 21:51, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

message: @Prosperosity I notice you added a photo of the sculpture to the Auckland High Court article, but not here. I would think it should be quite appropriate here too? — HTGS (talk) 00:36, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I know that there are multiple chief sculptures on the court building - I wasn't 100% confident that this was of Heke. --Prosperosity (talk) 00:41, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
