Parihaka 1881
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.
