The first big lie, and the one that has been told the most often and for the longest time, is that the Crown stole Maori land. This is a lie. There was no theft of Maori land. Of New Zealand’s 26.8-million hectares, 1.47-million hectares remain in Maori freehold title, and 1.2-million hectares were confiscated as a result of the 1860s wars. The remaining 24.13-million hectares were bought and paid for. [Butler]
