Who was John Bryce?
John Bryce was a New Zealand politician from 1871 to 1891 and Minister of Native Affairs from 1879 to 1884. In his attitudes to Maori land questions, he favoured strict legal actions against Maori opposed to alienation, and he personally directed the invasion of Parihaka and the arrest of the leaders of the movement.
Described as being stubborn and embittered to Maori questions, Bryce was the public face of a harsh policy towards Maori, but his actions were supported by the Premier and other members of his cabinet.
