Te Rauparaha's Wars of Conquests were a series of military campaigns fought between the Māori iwi of Ngāti Toa under rangatira Te Rauparaha and various other iwi between 1819 and 1839, forming an integral part of the Musket Wars. At the core of the wars was Te Heke Mai-i-raro, the migration of Ngāti Toa southward from Kāwhia, where they had been expelled.

Martin Phillipps (2 July 1963 – 28 July 2024) was a New Zealand singer-songwriter and musician. He was the lead singer and rhythm guitarist for The Chills. As part of the Dunedin sound, Phillipps and the Chills helped lay the groundwork for modern indie rock, and the band's innovative approach to alternative rock and lo-fi formed his legacy.[1] After he died suddenly in 2024, Split Enz and Crowded House frontman Neil Finn said Phillips was a "true original, fascinated by and devoted to the magic and mystery of music".[2]
