`Parihaka
When: 5th of November 1881
Where: Taranaki Parihaka.
Who: Tohu Kakahi, Te Whiti Rongomai, and the adults + children of Parihaka, and the british soldiers government+ king.
What: The government was selling Māori land. Survey pegs appeared on their land. The people of Parihaka took the survey pegs and the government sent men with guns. The men arrested Tohu Kakahi and Te Whiti.
Point of view one
Hi, I am one of the children in my town. Lots of people come and visit our rich river. We have lots of Māori people that stand up from the government. The government is trying to stop us but we said that we are trying to stop Pakeha people taking our land. So the government got sick of us and sent British soldiers. They said to us we have one hour to leave
But Tohu Kakahi and Te Whiti Rongomai told us Māori to not move. The British soldiers arrested Tohu and Te Whiti and I never seen them again.
I think that
It isn't right for the government to take everything away from the Parihaka people . Imagine you were the parihaka people would you want to get treated like them. Maybe they don't want to hurt you but the British soldiers hurt them.
