For the last few weeks we have been learning about parihaka. About 1600 troops invaded the western taranaki settlement of parihaka. Which had to come to a symbolise peaceful resistance to the confiscation of Maori land. Parihaka is known as a place in NZ but it is also why this place is often used as the name for a terrible event. Parihaka was a place of peace and it was a sacred place. This area was named and found by two spiritual leaders.
Their names were Te Whiti and Tohu, They were very important people and were always worshipped till now. For their kindness, and way of peace.
