E pā ana ki a Parihaka He hapori iti, he hapori taiwhenua a Parihaka i te taha Tonga o Taranaki.

I reira te pokapū o te porotēhi ātetetanga riri-kore mō ngā murunga whenua whānui rawa o roto Taranaki i waenganui i ngā rau tau 1860.
E mōhiotia ana mō te ngana a Te Kar- auna ki te whakamaroro i te hapori o Parihaka me te whakarerenga maungārongo o ōna rangatira a Tohu Kākahi, a Te Whiti ō Rongomai.

E pā ana ki te pire nei Kua whakapāha Te Karauna mō āna hohenga hītori ki Parihaka i roto i ōna whaka- taunga Tiriti o Waitangi i te taha o te iwi o Taranaki.

Hopukina ai e te pire nei ngā pūmotu o Te Kawenata ō Rongo, tērā whakaaetanga whakahoanga i hainatia i te 9 Pipiri 2017, ā, i roto rā Te Karauna me te hapori o Parihaka e whakaae ana ki te whakahoahoa i ō rātou whakawhanaunga.

298—2 2 Te Pire Haeata ki Parihaka Ngā Kōrero I tuhia hukihukitia te pire i roto i Te Reo Ingarihi me Te Reo Māori, ā, hopukina ai te whakapāha a Te Karauna me te tauākī whakareretanga a te hapori o Parihaka.
Kei roto tahi hoki ēnei e rua i te whakaaetanga.

Ngā menemana i marohitia Kapi ai e tēnei kōrero ngā menemana matua nā mātou i tūtohu ki te pire i whakaurua rā.

Ko tā rātou hiahia he whakatūturu ka haere tonu te mahi a Te Karauna ki te whakatutuki i ōna ngākau titikaha i raro i te whakaaetanga.
Hei urupare i ēnei āwangawanga, ka tūtohu mātou kia whakatikaina te pire kia wha- katūtirahia atu ai ngā kaupapa whakahoanga hou kei roto i te whakaaetanga ki roto i te pire.

Ko ēnei ērā, ko Te Wānanga mō ngā Kaiarataki a Parihaka me Te Karauna, ko Te Huanga ō Rongo (te whakaaetanga whakawhanaunga), ā, ko Te Tahua Parihaka.

Heoi, kīhai mātou i whakaaro he tika te whakaurua atu i ngā take whakahaere mahi e pā ana ki te whakaaetanga ki roto i te pire nei.
Ko tērā kua kite mātou, he tuhinga tū ko ia anake te whakaaetanga rā.

He herenga anō tōna i raro i te ture kei runga i Te Karauna, ā, kāore noa he whakatureture e hiahiatia hei whakamana i a ia.

Ko te ritenga koa, he whakauru noa atu i ērā āhuatanga anake ki roto i te whakatureture ka hiahiatia kia tutuki ai te pānga ture e whāia ana.

Hei tauira, hoatu wā ai te whakaaetanga mō tētahi wānanga mō ngā kaiarataki a Parihaka me te Karauna.

Kāore te kaitāpae e tautoko i te TPPP, ā, whakapae ai kīhai i haere ki te rapu akoako i te hapori o Parihaka i Te Marae o Toroanui.

Ki tō mātou tirohanga, he whānui tonu te rapu akoako a TPPP i te taha o te hapori o Parihaka puta noa i te hātepe whakahounga.

Ko te tohutohu ki a mātou i mua i te urunga atu ki roto i te whakaaetanga, i whakatū hui a TPPP huri rauna i te motu ki te matapaki i te pūhera whakahoanga i marohitia.

Kīhai mātou e tūtohu whakarerekētanga ki te pire i tēnei āhuatanga.
E whaiwhakaaro ana mehemea he tika te whakatureture i roto i te hātepe whakahoanga E aroā ana mātau ki ētahi āwangawanga mō te tika o te whakatureture i roto i te mahi whakahoahoa i te whakawhanaunga i waenganui i a Parihaka me Te Karauna.

Mematanga komiti, ko Rino Tirikātene (Heamana) Dan Bidois Mārama Davidson Joanne Hayes Matt King Adrian Rurawhe Hōnore Nicky Wagner Hōnore Meka Whaitiri Te Pire Haeata ki Parihaka Parihaka Reconciliation Bill Government Bill As reported from the Māori Affairs Committee Commentary Recommendation The Māori Affairs Committee has examined Te Pire Haeata ki Parihaka / Parihaka Reconciliation Bill and recommends that it be passed with the amendments shown.
About Parihaka Parihaka is a small rural community in South Taranaki.

It was the centre of non-vio- lent protest against the large-scale land confiscations that took place in Taranaki in the mid-1860s.

It is known for the Crown’s attempt to destroy the Parihaka community and the peaceful legacy of its leaders Tohu Kākahi and Te Whiti ō Rongomai.
Historical Treaty of Waitangi claims that relate to Parihaka have been settled (or will be in the case of Ngāti Maru) through comprehensive Treaty settlements in the Tara- naki region.

About this bill The Crown has apologised for its historical actions at Parihaka in its Treaty of Wai- tangi settlements with the iwi of Taranaki.
However, because of the special place Parihaka occupies in Taranaki and New Zealand, the Crown has committed to recon- ciling its relationship directly with the Parihaka community.

This bill records elements of Te Kawenata ō Rongo, the deed of reconciliation signed on 9 June 2017 in which the Crown and the Parihaka community agree to reconcile their relationship.
The bill includes only those elements of the deed that the Crown and Parihaka agree should be recorded in legislation to improve understanding of the history of Parihaka and preserve the commitment made by the Crown and Parihaka to a new relationship.

298—2 2 Te Pire Haeata ki Parihaka Parihaka Reconciliation Bill Commentary The bill has been drafted in English and translated into te reo Māori.

It records the apology of the Crown to Parihaka and the legacy statement by the Parihaka commu- nity.
Both of these are also contained within the deed.

Proposed amendments This commentary covers the main amendments we recommend to the bill as intro- duced.

We do not discuss minor or technical amendments.

Below we discuss major themes raised in the submissions we received and our recommended amendments.

The bill in dual languages The bill is in both English and te reo Māori.
One submission commented on the struc- ture of this bilingual bill and noted the importance of including the meaning of the word “haeata”, as it forms part of the bill’s title.

We recommend amending clause 2A to define “haeata” as literally meaning “dawn” and representing the reconciliation of the relationship between the Crown and the Parihaka community.
Strengthening the link between the deed and the bill Some submitters expressed concern that certain reconciliation initiatives provided for in the deed are not contained in the bill.

They want to ensure that the Crown con- tinues to meet its commitments under the deed.

In response to these concerns, we recommend amending the bill to list the reconcili- ation initiatives included in the deed.

These are the Parihaka–Crown Leaders Forum, Te Huanga ō Rongo (the relationship agreement), and the Parihaka Fund.
However, we do not consider it appropriate to include the operational matters of the deed in this bill.

We note that the deed is a stand-alone document which is legally binding on the Crown and does not require legislation to give it effect.

It is normal practice to include in legislation only what is necessary to achieve a desired legal effect.
Reviewing the Crown’s relationship with Parihaka It was suggested that the bill include a clause requiring a recurring review of the Crown’s relationship with the Parihaka community.

We do not recommend amending the bill in this instance as avenues already exist for Parihaka and the Crown to assess what needs to be worked on in the relationship.

For example, the deed already provides for a Parihaka–Crown Leaders Forum.
Consultation with the Parihaka community during the reconciliation process One submission expressed concern over a lack of consultation by the Parihaka Papa- kāinga Trust (PPT) about the reconciliation process.

The submitter does not support Commentary Te Pire Haeata ki Parihaka Parihaka Reconciliation Bill 3 the PPT and alleges that the Parihaka community were not consulted at Toroanui Marae.
It is our view that the PPT consulted extensively with the Parihaka community throughout the reconciliation process.

We have been advised that prior to entering into the deed, the PPT held hui around the country to discuss the proposed reconcili- ation package.

Approximately 200 people attended these hui including representatives from Te Puni Kōkiri.

As part of this consultation, a hui was held at Toroanui marae (one of the three marae at Parihaka) on 11 December 2016.
We heard that the PPT provided regular updates to the Office of Treaty Settlements (now the Office for Māori Crown Relations – Te Arawhiti) about engagement with the Parihaka community in relation to the reconcili- ation process.

We do not recommend any changes to the bill in this regard.

Considering whether legislation is appropriate in the reconciliation process We are aware of some concern about the appropriateness of legislation in reconciling the relationship between Parihaka and the Crown.
This concern relates to past Crown actions, including the enactment of legislation, which harmed the Parihaka commu- nity.

In 2016, the PPT specifically asked the Parihaka community if it considered a bill to be necessary in order to acknowledge and secure the Crown’s commitment to Parihaka.

Ninety-three percent of participants were supportive of a bill, and it was on this basis that the PPT proceeded with the development of legislation.
Description of historical Acts of Parliament relating to Parihaka Some concern was expressed over the way the bill refers to past Acts of Parliament that were used to eliminate Parihaka’s resistance to land confiscation.

These submis- sions requested that stronger language be used to emphasise how these Acts harmed the Parihaka community.
We recommend that clause 3A(1) be amended with stronger language to appropriately describe the impacts and consequences of the Crown’s actions that were empowered by these Acts.

Protecting the Parihaka name Some submissions sought amendments to protect the names Parihaka, Tohu Kākahi, and Te Whiti ō Rongomai, the history of Parihaka, and its legacy.

We heard that the Parihaka community is under pressure to respond to requests to use these names and tell the history of Parihaka.
The submitters would like this to be only with authorisa- tion by the PPT.

We have been advised that there are limitations to protecting the names of the proph- ets or the history of Parihaka and its legacy.

It is, however, possible to support some of the aspirations of the Parihaka community by protecting the Parihaka name.
4 Te Pire Haeata ki Parihaka Parihaka Reconciliation Bill Commentary We recommend inserting clause 3B to protect against the commercial exploitation of the name Parihaka (including registration of trademarks and company names, and other uses in trade) without the authorisation of the PPT.

Our amendment aims to prevent unauthorised commercial exploitation and would not limit artistic and political freedom of expression.
We have been advised that the clause is consistent with section 14 of the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990, relat- ing to freedom of expression.

In the event of unauthorised commercial use of the name Parihaka, the PPT could apply to the Court seeking a declaration that the use of the name was unauthorised and asking the Court to make an order for the use of the name to cease.

No authorisa- tion is required if the name is used in accordance with honest practices in industrial or commercial matters.
Acknowledging the Parihaka community’s authorship of the Legacy Statement We recommend a statement in Schedule 2 which further emphasises the special con- nection of the Parihaka community with the place.

This statement clarifies that the community wrote the Legacy Statement (which summarises the origins of the Parihaka community and its principles, describes its history, and sets out its aspira- tions for the future).
Te Pire Haeata ki Parihaka Parihaka Reconciliation Bill 5 Commentary Appendix Committee process Te Pire Haeata ki Parihaka / Parihaka Reconciliation Bill was referred to the commit- tee on 22 March 2018.

The closing date for submissions was 7 May 2018.

We received and considered 39 submissions from interested groups and individuals.

We heard oral evidence from 23 submitters at hearings in Parihaka and Wellington.

We received advice from the Office for Māori Crown Relations – Te Arawhiti.

Nā aua Ture i whakakaha ake ai te Karauna ki te whakatārewa i te rere tika o te ture, ā, i mauheretia roatia te hunga mautohe nō Parihaka me te whakawā kore.

Past Acts used against Parihaka This section records those Acts of Parliament under which the Crown attemp- ted to destroy Parihaka’s resistance to the loss of their traditional lands.

The Crown, empowered by those Acts, suspended the ordinary course of law and detained Parihaka protestors for long periods without trial.
As a result, more than 400 protestors were held as political prisoners, and unwarranted hardships were inflicted on them, the broader Parihaka community, and their descendants to the present day.
The following Acts breached natural justice, deprived the people of Parihaka of basic human rights, and enabled the Crown to complete its dispossession of the Parihaka community and other Taranaki Māori: (a) (b) (c) the Maori Prisoners’ Trials Act 1879 (repealed 1891), which empowered the Governor to set or change the date or place of the trials of those com- mitted for offences against the public order if “for any reason it is expe- dient”: the Confiscated Lands Inquiry and Maori Prisoners’ Trials Act 1879 (repealed 1891), which extended the Governor’s power to change the date or place of the trials of the Māori prisoners provided for in the Maori Prisoners’ Trials Act 1879: the Maori Prisoners Act 1880 (repealed 1891), which declared that those committed and awaiting trial or detained in custody were deemed to have been lawfully arrested and in lawful custody and could continue to be lawfully detained without trial: 20 25 30 35 40 7 cl 3B Te Pire Haeata ki Parihaka Parihaka Reconciliation Bill (d) (e) (f) (g) the Maori Prisoners’ Detention Act 1880 (repealed 1891), which applied the Maori Prisoners Act 1880 to Māori detained after that Act was passed: the West Coast Settlement (North Island) Act 1880 (repealed 1902), which, as necessary or fit to preserve the public peace,— 5 (i) (ii) declared activities such as the removal of survey pegs, ploughing, or erecting fences to be offences punishable by up to 2 years’ imprisonment (with or without hard labour); and enabled the arrest without warrant of persons who committed such offences, were present when such offences were committed, or were reasonably suspected of being about to commit such offences: the West Coast Peace Preservation Act 1882 (repealed 1891), which pro- vided that neither Tohu Kākahi nor Te Whiti o Rongomai would be tried for the offence they had been charged with, enabled the Governor to keep them in custody at any place he saw fit, to release them, and re- arrest them: the Indemnity Act 1882 (repealed 1902) indemnified every person who had carried out certain measures under the authority of the Government of New Zealand, some of which “may have been in excess of legal powers”, including resisting, apprehending, detaining, confining, or imprisoning Māori protestors, and empowered the Governor to declare any action to come within the provisions of that Act.

Nā te kirimana hoko, nā te riri ā-patu, nā te muru me te ture hoki i riro ai i te Karauna ngā whenua mōmona o Taranaki, me te aha, noho ai tana iwi i roto i te rawakore, i te ngākau-kore, i roto hoki i te whakahariharitaetanga.
Ka whakaū te Karauna i ana whakapāha ki te iwi o Taranaki mō te nui o ana korenga i hāpai i ngā mātāpono o te mahi tahi me te mahi pono e whakatinanatia nei e te Tiriti o Waitangi, mō te nui whakaharahara hoki o te kino i hua ake i aua mahi rā ki ngā whakatipuranga Māori o roto o Taranaki.

I tēnei wā, e tāpae ana te Karauna i te whakapāha e whai ake nei ki te iwi o Parihaka o mua, o nāianei hoki.
I te tau 1866, kua whakatūria te pā o Parihaka hei punanga whakamutunga mō ngā hapū o Taranaki, i rite tonu rā te ukuukua o ō rātou nei kāinga me ā rātou nei māra e ngā hōia o te Karauna, ka mutu, nō nā tata tonu rā rātou i pāngia kinotia ai e te muru kurī noa ihotanga o ngā papa kāinga nā reira i ora ai rātou me ō rātou tūpuna mō te hia whakatipuranga, i noho rā hoki hei tūāpapa ukiuki mō tō rātou tuakiri.
I te pāhuatanga kāore anō i kitea i mua, i te rere tonutanga hoki o te tūkino a te Karauna, ka whakatau te iwi o Parihaka ki te whakatū i tō rātou kāinga hou i raro i ngā mātāpono o te aroha, o te tauritenga, o te kotahitanga me te tino rangatiratanga.

I raro i te ārahitanga a Tohu Kākahi rāua ko Te Whiti o Rongomai, ka whakaū te iwi o Parihaka i tō rātou mana ki te whenua, i tō rātou mana motuhake hoki mā te tohe whai tikanga i a rātou e whakatairanga ana i te rangimārie ki waenga i te Māori me te Pākehā.
Ka noho a Parihaka hei punanga, hei whakahihiritanga hoki i te tini tāngata puta noa i Taranaki, otirā, i Aotearoa whānui tonu.

E whakaae ana te Karauna i tino kore rawa atu nei ia i whakaae, i whakamana rānei i te whakakitenga o te tino rangatiratanga me te noho tahi i whakatauiratia rā e Parihaka.

Ko tā te Karauna urupare ki te rangimārie ko te ngarengare, ki te kotahitanga ko te whakawehewehe, ki te mana motuhake ko te tāmitanga.
A few short years after guaranteeing to Māori the undisturbed possession of any lands they wished to retain, the Crown began to systematically dispossess the tangata whenua of their Taranaki lands.

By purchase deed, force of arms, confiscation and statute, the Crown took the rich lands of Taranaki and left its people impoverished, demoralised, and vilified.
The Crown reiterates the apologies it has made to iwi of Taranaki for its many failures to uphold the principles of partnership and good faith that the Treaty of Waitangi embodies, and for the immense harm those actions have caused to generations of Māori in Taranaki.

The Crown now offers the following apology to the people of Parihaka, past and present.
In 1866, the settlement of Parihaka was established as a final refuge for Taranaki hapū whose homes and cultivations had been repeatedly destroyed by Crown troops, and who had recently suffered the indiscriminate confiscation of traditional lands that had sustained them and their tūpuna for generations, and which formed the very bedrock of their identity.
At a time of unprecedented loss and continuing Crown violence, the people of Parihaka chose to establish their new community under principles of compassion, equality, unity, and self-sufficiency.

Under the leadership of Tohu Kākahi and Te Whiti o Rongomai, the community at Parihaka asserted their customary rights to land and political autonomy through symbolic acts of protest while promoting peaceful engagement between Māori and Pākehā.
Parihaka became a place of refuge and a source of inspiration for thousands of people from across Taranaki and from elsewhere in Aotearoa.

The Crown acknowledges that it utterly failed to recognise or respect the vision of self-determination and partnership that Parihaka represented.

The Crown responded to peace with tyranny, to unity with division, and to autonomy with oppression.

(a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) (g) For imprisoning Parihaka residents for their participation in the ploughing and fencing campaigns of 1879 and 1880, and for promoting laws that breached natural justice by enabling those protestors to be held in South Island jails without trial for periods that assumed the character of indefinite detention; For depriving those political prisoners of their basic human rights, and for inflicting unwarranted hardships both on them and on members of their whānau and hapū who remained behind and sustained Parihaka in their absence; For invading Parihaka in November 1881, forcibly evicting many people who had sought refuge there, dismantling and desecrating their homes and sacred buildings, stealing heirlooms, and systematically destroying their cultivations and livestock; For the rapes committed by Crown troops in the aftermath of the invasion, and for the immeasurable and enduring harm that this caused to the women of Parihaka, their families, and their descendants until the present day; For the arrest and detention of Tohu Kākahi and Te Whiti o Rongomai for sixteen months without trial in the South Island; For its imposition of a pass system which regulated entry into Parihaka, denied residents the freedom of movement, and prevented supporters from providing Parihaka with supplies following the invasion; For compounding these injustices by returning land under a regime that deprived owners of control and ultimately the ownership of much of the Parihaka reserves, and which remains in place to this day.
Nā te Karauna i takahi te mana o Parihaka ki te whakawhanake, ki te ukauka hoki i a ia anō i runga i tāna i pai ai, ka mutu, kāore hoki i tika te whakatauria o ngā whakamau i hua mai ai mō te hia tau nei.
Inā te ngoto o te whakapāha a te Karauna i ēnei mahi kua whakataumaha nei i te iwi o Parihaka ki te whakamau me te takaonge tuku iho mō te hia The Crown denied Parihaka the right to develop and sustain itself on its own terms, and then failed for many years to address the resulting grievances in an appropriate way.
The Crown profoundly regrets these actions, which have burdened the people of Parihaka with an intergenerational legacy of grievance and deprivation, and which have burdened the Crown with a legacy of shame.

14 Te Pire Haeata ki Parihaka Parihaka Reconciliation Bill Te Āpitihanga 1 whakatipuranga, kua here nei hoki i te Karauna ki te whakamā tuku iho.
I te 7 o ngā rā o Noema, i ia tau, karapinepine ai ngā whānau o Parihaka ki te maumahara ki ngā tūpuna nā rātou nei i tāpae atu te waiata me te koha kai ki ngā hōia o te Karauna, i te tau 1881, ā, nā rātou nei hoki i whakahei tā rātou ū ki te maungārongo i te wā tonu e ukuukutia ana ō rātou kāinga, ā rātou ngakinga, i te wā anō hoki e mauheretia ana ō rātou rangatira.
I tēnei wā, e tū ana te Karauna i te taha o Parihaka ki te mihi ki ngā tāne, ki ngā wāhine, ki ngā tamariki hoki i utu rā i tō te Karauna ngarengare ki te tū rangatira, ki te whakawhenuatanga me te māia whakaharahara.

Ko te tino tūmanako o te Karauna, mā tēnei whakapāha e wātea ai a Parihaka me te Karauna ki te whai whakaaro ki tō rāua ao o mua, e anga whakamua ai, e tīmata ai hoki tā rāua mahi tahi ki te whakatinana i te tūrua pō mō te rangimārie o te noho tahitanga i kōrerotia rā e Tohu rāua ko Te Whiti.
On the 7th day of November every year, the whānau of Parihaka come together to remember those tūpuna who, in 1881, met the Crown’s soldiers with songs and gifts of food, and who honoured their commitment to peace while their homes and gardens were destroyed and leaders imprisoned.

The Crown now joins Parihaka in paying tribute to the men, women, and children who responded to the Crown’s tyranny with dignity, discipline and immense courage.
It is the Crown’s sincerest hope that through this apology, Parihaka and the Crown can now acknowledge their shared past, move beyond it, and begin to work together to fulfil the vision of peaceful coexistence that Tohu and Te Whiti described.
15 Te Āpitihanga 2 Te Pire Haeata ki Parihaka Parihaka Reconciliation Bill Te Āpitihanga 2 Te Tikanga Tuku Iho Schedule 2 Legacy Statement s 6ss 3B, 6 5 I takea mai ngā mātāpono whakawhenua me ngā tikanga ka ārahi i a Parihaka i nāianei i ngā hapori nō mua rā anō i te whakatūnga o te kāinga.
Kei a Parihaka te tikanga mā te tauākī e whai ake nei hei whakarāpopoto ngā kōrero taketake mō te hapori o Parihaka me ōna mātāpono, hei whakamārama atu hoki mō tōna hītori, hei whakatakoto hoki i ōna wawata mō ā muri ake nei.

The principles that define and guide Parihaka today originated in communities that long predate the settlement’s establishment.
Parihaka makes the following statement to summarise the origins of the Parihaka community and its principles, to describe its history, and to set out its aspirations for the future.

Pae 1—Te Huripoki Phase 1—The upheaval Te pae o te riri Huripoki 1813–1840 Violent upheaval 1813–1840 Te kūreitanga o Taranaki, maru ana i te kai, kōpā ana i te kāinga, pōkia ana e te tāngata.

Tūpono noa te kurukurutanga o te uru i te taiwhakararo, ripiripia e te mumu, haehaea e te āwhā.
Ka pakū te ngutu parera, ka horo te pā, ka kāwhakina te kāhui whakarau ki tawhiti.

Riro ana te puia taro uri ki Kāpiti, whakarērea mai te puia tautau māhei.

Puea mai he rongomau, houhia e Pōtatau rāua ko Matakātea ki Ōrangituapeka, whakaeaea mai he manawa nui, he manawa roa.

Kāinga tahi ka mate, kāinga rua ka ora, he pā whakaruru mō Rongo, Rongo-marae-roa.
He reanga i whanaua iho ai ki te māra o Tū, ka puta he poropititanga i tua i te rangi tāwhangawhanga, he putanga ariki, he putanga tauira, Huripokina te ao, taupokina te pō, ka ao, ka ao-ātea.

The Taranaki region, rich in resources, densely populated and thick with human existence.

Then the region’s desolation from northern bounds, lives torn apart within the tempest, ripped to shreds in the storm.
The concussive force of the musket resounded, fortifications fell, their inhabitants made captive and taken afar.

The vulnerable removed themselves to Kāpiti, the primary root left behind resisted.

The potential of peace was conceived, bound by Pōtatau and Matakātea at Ōrangituapeka pā, giving rise to new hope and fortitude.

Settlements of the past faded and new forms of community arose, they were sanctuaries of collective prosperity.
This was a generation born in the depths of war that gave rise to prophets of inspired vision, breaking from their constraints with concepts of empowerment and transformation.

Through this upheaval, despair was eased and light shone once more.

Pae 2—Te Rongomau Te pae o rongo 1840–1860 Phase 2—The foundation Reshaping peace 1840–1860 Tuputupu rautāpatu te kawa ora ki runga o Taranaki.

Ka paiaka te Pākehā ki Taranaki, he whenua te take.
Te rongopai a Waitere, te kauhau a Minarapa, tatū te kāhui hipi a Rīmene e tataki nei i te rangimārie o Te Atua, ki tā te kupu Paipera, ko te whakapono, te tūmanako me te aroha.

Maunu mai te iwi whakarau i te koanga, kitakita nei te tarakihi i te raumati.

He huanga nui nā Rongo-mā-tāne, i te hiringa ā-nuku, i te hiringa ā-rangi, ka hua ko Tū te ngana-hau.
E pari ana te tai o makiri, he kiritea, he tai horonuku, he horo whenua, taukiri e. Ka pupū te rau ki te Ruru-mā- heke, ko te puia taro uri ka hoki, e rarau.

Huripoki This wave of prosperity swept the region.

Settlers made their home in Taranaki, land their intent.

The good word conveyed by Whiteley, the sermons of Minarapa, the established flock of Riemenschneider, carrying the peace of God and the Bible’s text espousing faith, hope and love.
Those enslaved were liberated in the promise of spring, those in hiding had freedom in the warmth of summer.

Flourishing with the rewards of cultivation, of collective action, inspiration and resilience.

The king-tides carried waves of settlers, eroding the earth, consuming the land, and deep concern builds.

Numbers swelled with return migrations of the once vulnerable who 16 Te Pire Haeata ki Parihaka Parihaka Reconciliation Bill Te Āpitihanga 2 te whenua, parapara te whenua ki te ūkaipō.
Ka ara, ko Te Kurupū, ko Pātūtūtahi, ko Kumea-mai- te-Waka, ko Taiporohēnui ki Manawapou, “ka herea te whenua, ka herea te tangata”, “tangata tōmua, whenua tōmuri”.

Taranaki whenua poapoa ki te hoko, poapoa ki te Kāwana.

resettled, tilling and fertilising the soil, gardens of occupation.

Statements of assertion defined boundaries for land to be retained, commitments were made, bound by oaths, people would be lost before their lands.

The value of Taranaki land enticed buyers, and enticed the Government.
Pae 3—Te Nguha Phase 3—The war Te pae o tū kā riri 1860–1865 The impact of conflict 1860–1865 Ka hikahika, he ngutuahi ki te ngutuawa Waitara, ka korakora a Pekapeka te pū o te riri, ka tutū te ngārahu ki Te Kōhia, ka kātoro te ahi ki te motu.

He mate i a tuanuku, he haehae i a papawhenua.

Te hinganga o Kaipōpō, ko Te Hanataua, ko Kukutai, ko Paratene, papanga iho he kāhui kāhika.

Whakangaro Warea, rukea e te manuao.

Mumura ana te ahikā, kīhai i tineia, murua rawatia te whenua.
Tou te kai, tou te tangata, he kāinga putuputu, ka turakina, ka tūngia ki te ahi.

Me he raupō piko i te hau, ka ara.

Tērā Tamarura ka heke i te pae o Rori Wētere, ka puta te Atua ki Taranaki, ka iri a Riri, ka iri a Ririkore ki Kaitake, ki Te Iringaniu.

Ka haramai ngā tahua a te kōrero Atua, ka ara ngā manu e rua, warakī i te atatū, ko Mumuhau, ko Takereto ki runga o Repanga.
Friction to inflame hostility at the mouth of Waitara, sparking tension in Pekapeka the seat of conflict, embers stoked in Te Kōhia, a wildfire razing the country in deep desire for land, covetous of land.

With Kaipōpō so too did Te Hanataua, Kukutai and Paratene fall, a loss of respected leadership.

Occupation rights were fanned alight, never extinguished but all confiscated.

Food was sowed while people were buried, in a succession of settlements, destroyed and torched.
Like reeds rising when wind abates.

Tamarura revealed with the incident of Lord Worsley, spiritual guidance revealed to Taranaki, violence contrasted with non-violence at Kaitake and elevated on Te Iringaniu.

The potential for peace revealed in Christian tenets.

So rose the two birds, calling at dawn, Mumuhau and Takereto landing at Repanga.

Pae 4—Te Haeata Te pae o te haeata 1865–1878 Phase 4—The building A new dawn 1865–1878 Ka ruku aurere rā ki Waikoukou, whakaeaea aumihi ki uta o Waitotoroa.
Ka puea Parihaka ki te haeata.

Ka kuhuna te patu kia kore e kitea.

Ka puru te toto, ka tū te tikanga, ka topa te toroa, ka puta, ka ora.

Rāngai mai ana te tekau mā rua a Tāwhiao, rauhī mai te kāhui i ōna hēpara ki te Atua i runga rawa.

Ka hanga whakahere hei whakakakara ki tō rāua Atua.

He tau pai te tau, he tau ariki te tau, he tau āhuru te tau, nō te rēme te tau.

Kua tukua te punga whakawhenua o Ihowa ki te whenua.
Huhua mai i mārakiraki, i mātongatonga me te marangai, marara i te muru, tītaria e te ture.

Ahu te rau, ohu te mano.

Te haupū ā-rongo ki te whenua, he maunga ā-rongo.

Hua te kai, hua te kōrero mō te whakaaro pai ki te tangata, kia utua te kino ki te pai.

Kei te pakanga kē te matamata o taku arero nei hei taonga mō ngā whakatupuranga.

Ko rātou hei kainoho i te rangatiratanga mō ake tonu atu.

Submerged in the pain of Waikoukou, surfacing again with relief in the upper reaches of Waitotoroa.
Parihaka emerging in the glimmer of a new dawn on the horizon.

Weapons were sheathed, far from sight.

The flow of blood staunched, principled practice realised, an albatross takes flight, a way of life.

The twelve of Tāwhiao sent out, the shepherds gather their flock with guidance of Christian beliefs.

A commitment with their God was made firm, this would be a time of good, a time of great consequence, a time of solace, a time for the most vulnerable.
Amassed from the north, south and east, scattered by confiscation.

The hundreds gather in teams, working as a collective.

Cooperative cultivation of the land ensues.

The essence of peace.

Food is produced, words are spoken, goodwill to all people, responding to hatred with kindness.

This battle is one fought with the tip of my tongue, fought for future generations.

For they are the basis of self-determination far into times ahead.
17 Te Āpitihanga 2 Te Pire Haeata ki Parihaka Parihaka Reconciliation Bill Pae 5—Te Tohe Tūkau Te pae o te tohe 1878–1886 Phase 5—The resistance An uprising of resistance 1878–1886 Ka torona ki te parau ka riro taku tīkapa, riro i te herehere, riro i te ture.

Parau kau, tū kau, he ranga kahawai, he taiepa tiketike i te tūpuhi.

Ka kōpenu te ihu o te toa, ka tū te pono o te kōrero teka.
Ka torona te whenua, ka torona te tangata, ka hau te whenua, ka hau te rongo, he manawanui, he manawaroa nō Tāwhiri-mātea.

I whiua au i runga i Te Tikanga, i whiua ki te piu o te ture, ki ngā ngaru whakapuke o Raukawa, wāhia ki te rīpeka mahi nui i Otākou, i Rīpapa ki Whakaraupō, i Hokitika ki Te Ika a Ngahue.

Ko Hīroki, ko Pōtiki-roroa te ika, i tahia i Waitōtara ki te hōpua, te maru nui o Tohu, o Whiti.

Te hōkai a te hōia ki te hōkai a te tātarakihi.


Te hāpai a te hōiho mā i a Te Paraihe ki te hāpai nui a te whaene, he tahua kai.

Kua hari, kua koa.

Ka puni a Pungarehu ki Te Pūrepo, whakaweriweri, whakawehiwehi, kīhai i wehewehe.

E runga, e raro nukunuku mai.

E uta e tai nukunuku mai.

Te mahi a te kurī, kua hari, kua koa ki te pāhua tuatahi.

Opehia taewatia te tangata.


Opea noatia te kōpae hēki ki raro i te kātua, kāore he kai pīpipi, kāore he kai kōkoko, ka herea te kaha me te uaua ki te rangimārie.

Kūpapa e te iwi.

Utaina Hinemoa, e tū tamawahine i te wā o te kore.

Kei te kairuru, kei te kaikaha.

He pae kawau hoki i a Tiki whakakōtata.

Te hau whakamōmotu nei i te weherua o te pō.

The plough goes forth, my people are taken, taken captive, taken by law.

Ploughing with non- violence, moving in unison, fencing out hostility.
Noses of the brave are broken, and untruths are made real.

As the region was reclaimed, people were reclaimed, land was ploughed, and the news travelled, of determination, of resilience, reminiscent of Tāwhiri-mātea.

I am condemned on account of my Tikanga, punished with the lash of law, put upon high seas between islands, separated with hard labour in Dunedin, on Rīpapa in Lyttelton, in Hokitika on the West Coast.
Hīroki, like Pōtiki-roroa, made the target, a fish corralled to shallow water, the shelter of Tohu and Te Whiti.

Soldiers marched upon children’s play.

A white horse bearing Bryce’s hostility pushing through the hospitality of mothers.

They are resolute and assured.

The camp of Pungarehu relocated to Te Pūrepo, with intimidation and havoc, together Parihaka remained.

The act of a dog resolute and assured in the first plunder.

People bundled as potatoes, yet without food.


The hen pulling her brood under her protection, there is no food for them out there, rage and thoughts of retaliation constrained in peace.

Subordinated for higher ideals.

What Hinemoa’s cargo has taken, women must carry.

Left in hunger and yet found strength.

Womanhood brutalised by the basest of human character.

This destructive wind borne at midnight.


Pae 6—Te Aranga Phase 6—The revival Te pae o te aranga 1886–1907 The drive for revival 1886–1907 Heke i te kaipuke, heke a te kaikamo.

E ngata tō puku e te kaiwhakawhiu, mōku te kino, mōu te pai.

Te maunutanga i te herehere, rorea rā ki te tūmatakuru o Kāwana.

E karapoti nei te mounga i te rori, i te taiepa kōpiko.

Taranaki tītōhea a runga, tītōhea a raro.

E rere e te kīrehe o te rangi ki runga ki ngā puna wai koropupū, koropupū mai.
Te aranga i te hae o te mate, te kaihari i te oranga.

Te rongo o te poi ki Toroanui, te piu o te arero ki Paraahuka.

Ngātata kau ana te riu i te taukume, he pou atua, he pou whenua.

Ara mai Rangikāpuia, ara mai Te Raukura.

Kumea e nuku, kumea e rangi, tū kē wehe kē, te hōkari o te wae, te whākana o te waha.

Kīhai i wetekina te ioka.

He kahu taratara, he rāpaki.

Rangahia mai ngā hanga o te ao, ka hika, ka hiko, ka puta, ka ora.

Tūtakina rawatia ngā tatau rino o te whare Kāwana.


He mangumangu taepō nei hoki tātou.

They have disembarked from ships, moved by sorrow.

The hunger of the punisher for now appeased, the worst for me, the best for you.

Prisoners have bindings removed, yet strict constraints remain in place.

The mountain encircled by road and angled fences of occupation.

Taranaki is again desolate.

Small birds of the sky flock to the source of strength, a spring flowing high up on the slopes.
This revival from near death, makes life more precious.

The poi’s beat and tongue’s sway on Toroanui and Paraahuka.

There is a rending of the waka with debate, spiritual leadership and community leadership.

Rangikāpuia rise tall, Te Raukura rise tall.

Pulled upward and drawn downward, each standing apart, the pounding of feet, the commotion of voices.

Yet the yoke remained tethered.

These are coarse clothes of mourning, hitched high for work.
The innovations of the world installed to vibrate and spark anew to the 18 Te Pire Haeata ki Parihaka Parihaka Reconciliation Bill Te Āpitihanga 2 world.

And still the Crown’s iron doors remain firmly shut.

We are but demons conjured in the shadows.

Pae 7—Te Whenumi Phase 7—The forgetting of Parihaka Te pae o whēnuminumi 1907–1975 The ebbing tides 1907–1975 E tō e te rā, te rukuhanga a Tamanui, a Tamaroa, a Tama i te ao mārama.
Te ruruku ki wehe o tupua, te wehe o Tangaroa, te ao huna ki te uru, te Uru tonu o Tonganui.

E rongo rānei te tohe a Pōtoru, kīhai i haere numinumi.

Ka rau matomato te tupu, ka tiritiria, ka poupoua ki Te Parewanui, ki Te Maungaarongo, ki Rātana.

Ka kāinga rua, kāinga i te pono, kāinga i te tika.

Ka tō te rangapū ki ngā rori kirikiri ki roto o Pōneke, pūehuehu kau te mahuetanga mai.

Hunā ururua, hunā mokoroa, hunā pakikoke, hunā kāho, hunā hāhani, hunā kōpiro.
Te morehutanga iho te waha o te pere, he uri nō Hōhepa i te tina, i te tī, i te parakuikui.

The sun does set, he dives into night, his life- giving light lost to the world.

The rituals sent you both beyond, lost into Tangaroa, hidden into the west, to the very gable of Tonganui.

The deep dissensions of Pōtoru were paid no heed, and you did not recede from our memory.

It continued to grow and flourish afar, nurtured afar, at Te Parewanui, at Te Maungaarongo, and at Rātana.
Subsequent settlements of belief and sound moral values.

The political paths on gravel roads led to Wellington, I am dust-covered in the wake.

Engulfed in bramble, consumed by borer, wasted in deprivation, flushed with alcohol, embattled with abuse, silenced with scorn.

The remaining few caretakers of the bell, the embodiment of Joseph, fed the people with the little they had.

Pages have laid bare that which silence has suppressed, that deafened have heard, that blinded have seen.

First light reveals the spectrum of Uenuku, with piercing rays and refracted light the deepest and darkest of recesses will know colour.

Dawn breaks and the sky has opened, the world is enlightened.

Clear those marae long forsaken, reveal their lore, uncover their learnings.
Bodies of knowledge yet unseen, drawn from our earliest beginnings, the quest for peace, a flight feather, a tradition of poi.

Speak up and speak with resolve, the God almighty they received, the guiding light of lasting peace, to avoid hatred, to avoid moral debasement, to avoid a complete loss of dignity is his legacy.

What is the bird?

My poi is the bird.

It has flown out to travel over the generations.


Battles remembered on the day of the Declaration of Independence may be redeemed with peace in memory of the Pāhua, an eventual peace.

This commitment has set sail on Tangaroa of limitless paths, refraining from the arduous and boggy paths we once travelled, allowing them to pass from this world.
