I hate to add to all this drivel we have from one eyed people from the Maori or white groups but just a oncer.
I have no doubt whatsoever that the colonials burned the church and many other murderous things.At the same time the Maori were engaged in similar things. Before the Brits came the Maori were enslaving, killing and eating their own people. Please don't dispute this. The husband of the late Maori Queen showed me some of the evidence many years ago in relation to the Hamilton tribes.
For New Zealand this particular episode is a long time ago and we have to move on.
It's still happening of course but less organised, look at all the babies killed in the last few years, look at all the adults killed too; black ,brown, white and every shade in between. Look at Rwanda,Vietnam, Syria, Serbia etc.
Its the human condition. It's what we do. Don't blame colour.When one individual or group can dominate it will.
Concentrate on the future.
My own ancestors in Ireland were in just the same situation. In 1922 the British troops machine gunned a football crowd in reprisal killing soccer fans. I grew up hating the Brits. Many years later an English friend of mine it turned out had been a platoon commander of the Black and Tans troop that carried out many reprisal raids on the Irish probably killing some of my family. He had an Irish bullet in his head to remember us, maybe my grandfather put it there? Yet we became friends.
Our job is to stop bleating about the past and safeguard the present and hopefully make the future better.
If we removed Cameron from Cameron Rd then we would have to remove famous Maori warrior names from other places in NZ.
