On November the 5th 1881 the children of Parihaka held hands and sang songs, while the police rode there horses with guns upon there village in Taranaki. Parihaka was a symbol of protest against the confiscation of Maori land. Te Whiti O Rongomai and Tohu Kakahi were the primary Rangatira. Today we remember them.
