Statue of John Fane Charles Hamilton
[2] The settlement of Hamilton (now a city) was named after Captain Hamilton,[3] a Royal Navy officer who was killed in action during the Battle of Gate Pā.The life-size statue by Margriet Windhausen was gifted to Hamilton City by the Gallagher Group in 2013 "to celebrate 75 years in business".[4][5] In 2017, the donor's CEO, Sir William Gallagher,[6] gave an Institute of Directors speech describing the Treaty of Waitangi as a fraud and denied it involved a partnership between Māori and the Crown.[8] The statue was defaced with red paint[9] in August 2018 by the activist Taitumu Maipi.[10] In June 2020, ahead of a George Floyd protest in the US, the Hamilton City Council discussed the statue[11] with Sir William's brother and fellow director, John Gallagher,[12] then slated it for removal, after a request by Māori tribal confederation Waikato Tainui.
