Overview

The invasion of Parihaka, Taranaki, by Pakeha (European) soldiers in 1881 is commemorated and explored in this book as one of the major historical events in the history of Aotearoa New Zealand. It analyzes the events leading up to the invasion and the immense strength and spirit of the Parihaka community, which continues today. One hundred and twenty years of art, poetry, and waiata are brought together in this study.
