Parihaka

 Kia ora readers,

Today I will be posting about The story of Parihaka. It's a true story that happened in New Zealand, it had happened in the year of 1881

Here is the story of it, you can search it up.

5 November 1881

About 1600 troops invaded the western Taranaki settlement of Parihaka, which had come to symbolise peaceful resistance to the confiscation of Māori land. Founded in the mid-1860s, Parihaka was soon attracting dispossessed and disillusioned Māori from around the country.


Here is a picture of it.

  1. This is a very good introduction to the situation at Parihaka all those years ago. I'm sure you can build on the information and attract more readers at a later date as you explore the topic further. A very good choice of pic.
