Peaceful protest at Parihaka.
During Te Reo Matatini we read about the story of Parihaka.
I learnt that... Te Whiti-O-Rongomai and Tohu Kakahi were pacifists woh wanted to find peaceful ways to solve land disputes in taranaki ad live in harmony with their neighbours.
on the 18th and 19th of each month, Parihaka welcomes Iwi, Whanau and guests to each of the three Marae to share history and discuss current issues.
the Raukura feathers emerged as a symbol of the passive resistance movement that Tohu Kakahi and Te Whiti o Rongomai began.
It made me mad because the soldiers toke over the Maori land
i agree that we should keep guy fawkes day should be reanamed as parihaka day.
