God's Honest Truth

By Colm McKeogh

In September 1861, a garden party is held in the grounds of Government House in Auckland to welcome Governor George Grey back to New Zealand. In June 1863, an Irish nun travels up the Waikato river and meets a Māori woman. In July 1863, the Māori woman hears that Crown forces have crossed the Mangatāwhiri river, the men of the 18th Royal Irish Regiment among them. What do the people in this land owe each other, and where do these obligations originate? Against the backdrop of the conquest, colonization, and Christianization of Aotearoa New Zealand, this story explores the concepts of covenant, contract, and treaty.
