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)

[edit] the treaty promised what, again?!?

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)

[edit] Imposition of Ceasefire

"...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)

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)
