Parihaka
Parihaka is a Māori settlement in coastal Taranaki, founded in the mid-1860s by the Taranaki and Te Āti Awa leaders Te Whiti o Rongomai and Tohu Kākahi on land the government had confiscated. Its people resisted the survey and sale of that land with non-violent ploughing and fencing campaigns. On 5 November 1881 about 1,600 Armed Constabulary and volunteers led by Native Minister John Bryce entered the village, arrested both leaders and occupied it for several years.
