Repudiation party including Henare Matua, 1876

Repudiation party, including Henry Robert Russell (on seat, centre) and Henare Matua, probably in Napier, February 1876.

Matua was a key figure in the Repudiation movement, based in Hawke's Bay. The movement grew out of a widespread Maori dissatisfaction with land transactions.
