What reading level is A Brief Introduction to the Maori Colonisation of Manawatu book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

She discovered that Houhiri had slain him and put his body in the eel baskets for bait. The lady remained silent about her discovery but sent for her uncle to come over and take vengeance on her husband.
The battles that ensued from Tawhakahiku's destruction of Houhiri's pa and the slaughter of his people resulted in the almost total annihilation of the Ngati Mamoe and Ngati Ara, the remnant of the people fleeing to Kapiti.
By this time Rangitane sub-tribes extended right down through the Waira
...rapa and even on to the northern part of the South Island.
Tawhakahiku and his brother Mangere even raided some of the Rangitane belonging to other sub-tribes and their own blood relations. After raiding on the western side of the Gorge they c-rossed back over the range and continued to raid down through the Northern Wairarapa. Then crossing back again to attack the pa at Manakau, they were by a lucky circumstance discovered. A trap was laid for them and both were killed at the Manakau pa.
Despite inter-tribal warfare with neighbours who coveted their rich lands, the Rangitane were at the turn of the 19th cen- tury, a very numerous people.
